Reviews

... Prins himself has crossed boundaries in his career - practitioner, Probation Officer, and academic - the book remains filled with observations from and about music, Art, literature and contemporary culture which takes his prose about what some might regard as essentially dry, socio-forensic matters into a whole new realm of academic writing. In other words, Offenders, Deviants or Patients? remains what it has always been - a delight to actually read. This is not something I could say about many academic books. - From the Foreword, Professor David Wilson, Centre for Applied Criminology, Birmingham City University
