The forming of specialist teams has greatly aided the development of effective work with perpetrators. However, a side-effect has been a mystique about this field; non-specialists do not feel encouraged to understand this work. The authors feel that this is counter productive, as in fact 94% of work with perpetrators is undertaken by individuals with little support, specialist training or supervision.
