Pro-social modeling has come to be recognized as fundamental to effective work with offenders in the probation service, youth justice and the prison service, as well as having applications in a number of other fields, and has been found to be very effective in positively influencing offenders towards anti-crime behaviors and attitudes. It refers to the process of actively reinforcing pro-social behavior and discouraging anti-social behavior and attitudes, setting a good, motivating example in order to bring out the best in people. This book meets the need for a practical guide which explains in a simple and straightforward way what pro-social modeling is and how to implement it in practice. Transforming Behavior examines ways of developing honest and empathetic relationships with clients, demonstrating a genuine concern for the person, with persistence and optimism about their capacity to change, including being clear about underlying values and expectations.

Pro-social modelling refers to the process by which the worker acts as a good motivating role model in order to bring out the best in people. The worker engages the client in an empathetic relationship within which they actively reinforce pro-social behaviour and attitudes and discourage anti-social behaviour and attitudes. It has come to be recognized as fundamental to effective work with offenders in the Probation Service, Youth Justice and the Prison Service. It is also equally relevant in other fields such social work, youth work, health care, education, management and parenting. This updated and expanded new edition builds upon the highly successful first edition to provide an accessible guide to what pro-social practice is and how to do it, offering support and practical guidance for managers and practitioners seeking to implement and develop pro-social practice. It has been updated throughout, drawing on a wide range of evidence to relate theory to practice. It includes a wholly new chapter containing five case studies showing pro-social modelling being used in a police force, a prison, an Approved Premise, an educational establishment, and within community supervision Key areas of guidance include:
