Reviews

`... recommended for use on training courses for prison officers and any other prison staff who come into daily contact with prisoners. It provides a basic understanding of people who commit crimes and the variety of motives which lead to criminal behaviour.' - Forum ` ... The authors have succeeded in producing a book which combines practical experience and common sense with the results of psychological research. It is anticipated theat the book will find a useful place on training courses for prison officers and that it would be of interest to other professionals who work in prisons.' - Behavioural Research and Therapy `... essential reading for all those considering working withing a penal setting.' - Susan Waine, Nursing Times
