Reviews

Edited by Aaron Pycroft and Suzie Clift, Risk and Rehabilitation, focuses on risk and rehabilitation with reference to substance abuse and mental health problems. The chapters in this volume are of a high quality and examine the nature of risk and rehabilitation, especially the ways in which the risk paradigm has distorted both rehabilitative ideas as well as the practice of working with people who have multiple and complex needs. The final chapter in this book, Relationship and Rehabilitation in a post 'what works' era, is a particularly important contribution to the literature. Clemens Bartollas, Professor of Criminology, University of Northern Iowa A topical, insightful collection, drawing useful insights from both research and practice, on contemporary developments in working with offenders who are highly stigmatised and face substantial barriers in seeking desistance and reintegration. Professor Alex Stevens, University of Kent
