Recenzii
This book provides a comprehensive account of the contexts and challenges of working with people convicted of criminal offences. The sustained consideration of the values that underpin practice is particularly welcome at this time. Malcolm Cowburn, Professor, Sheffield Hallam University
Adds a useful and timely discussion on how insights from research into why people stop offending can be incorporated into modern probation practice: a 'must-read' for those interested in working with those trying to leave crime behind. Stephen Farrall, Professor of Criminology, University of Sheffield
This book is a welcome and accessible addition to the resources available for criminal justice practitioners and students. Its approach integrates key practice and policy developments with issues of values and concepts from research. Jane Dominey, De Montfort University
“The author has produced a guide to help practitioners and students navigate their way in humane fashion through an important component of an increasingly technical and complex criminal justice system.”
