Reviews

"This book was well set out and easy to follow - in an increasing 'risk' society - the range of appropriate issues are considered.This book will prove to be useful for a number of modules on the course." Charlotte Fletcher-Morgan, Nottingham Trent University "This book should dominate probation training for a generation, and it should be read by all serving probation officers, whose jaded faith in what their academic colleagues do will indubitably be restored." Mike Nellis, Professor of Criminal and Community Justice, University of Strathclyde
