Reviews

“This book will serve practitioners, academics, students and policymakers well, especially those who are in need of brushing up on their knowledge of all things desistance. Time spent reading this book would be an expedient way of getting a handle on the complex field of desistance research.” (Jake Philips, Probation Journal, 2018)
