It is impossible to specify precisely what type or
types of offenders are likely to benefit from counselling.
Many of those convicted of minor offences do not need such a
service while for others, such as recidivists, counselling
is unlikely to be very effective. In general, experience
indicates that counselling works best with those who have
committed a crime as a result of social pressures such as
family and financial problems or associating with
anti-social elements.
