Reviews

'This is not simply a text about reflective practice but an example in itself of reflective writing. The editors are to be congratulated for bringing together such an excellent and diverse group of contributions.' Stephen Collett, University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University 'Reflection is critical to probation practice. However, it is a less well-explored area of practice than other key concepts and so there is a need for a detailed and comprehensive look at what reflection in probation is, and how to do it. This book achieves just that. The chapters engage with the concept of reflective practice from a number of perspectives and with various groups of staff in mind. It will be invaluable reading to anyone currently working or training in the context of probation work.' Jake Phillips, University of Cambridge
