According to the Sentencing Project, between 1980 and 2017, the number of incarcerated women increased by more than 750%, rising from a total of 26,378 in 1980 to 225,060 in 2017 and the number continues to rise. Dealing with incarcerated women and specifically psychopathic women can be challenging. Understanding Female Offenders: Psychopathy, Criminal Behavior, Assessment, and Treatment provides readers with a better conceptualization of the psychopathic/non-psychopathic female. This includes better ways of interviewing, assessing, and treating these women, and clinical caveats with case examples to assist with clinical applications. This is the only comprehensive resource that provides specific knowledge about female offenders, particularly on female psychopathy and assessment.- Describes the differences between ASPD and psychopathic women and men- Presents PCL-R, Rorschach, and PAI data on female offenders, female psychopaths, and female sex offenders- Reviews the current literature on female psychopathy studies- Provides in-depth female offender case studies- Discusses common biases in diagnosing, treating, and assessing in forensic settings with female offenders

In a time of intractable political division, what resources can theology provide to bridge seemingly unbridgeable gaps? Jason M. Smith here proposes that one of the foundational acts of the Christianity-the Eucharist-can serve as a potent common symbol for mutual political reflection and action. Exploring new ways of thinking about the mystery of the presence of Christ in the Eucharist, notably 'transdonation' and 'transcorporation,' he demonstrates how God's presence in material things calls us to new ways of sharing our world together. Smith links eucharistic theology to political theology by treating the rite as a source for political reflection and judgment. He demonstrates how, in the bread and wine, we find the gift of a new common language by which we might seek a true common good. His study makes the traditional language of Eucharistic theology accessible and invites new theological responses to universal questions.
