Reviews

[The book] serves not only as an important supplement to the legal materials used by those working in the area, but also as an accessible source for enhancing general awareness of and sensitivity to the realities. The richness and poignancy of the narratives throughout this book show how necessary this is. -- John Eekelaar, Emeritus Fellow of Pembroke College, Oxford * Border Criminologies *
