ABSTRACT
In this chapter a number of areas for further exploration and growth will be explored. While recognising the roles of trauma, adversity, and oppression in the development of offending behaviour and as impacting often disproportionately on the lives of people who have offended has been a significant breakthrough in recent years, this chapter will also examine some of the pitfalls in taking an unthinking approach to this area. Trauma-informed and responsive practice is at an early stage of its development and there are a range of opportunities for growth, innovative practice research and development. A number of growth points are suggested. Practitioner, organisational and national agendas for development and change are highlighted and explored.
