Reviews

... the desire to secure public protection has given rise to a raft of reactionary, restrictive, exclusionary and controlling approaches to contain risk which ultimately inhibit access to integrative opportunities, at the expense of investigating the dynamics of change, engaging and educating the public and critically exploring how communities and individuals might both protect themselves and support offenders' rehabilitation and reintegration. This edited collection represents an important departure from this trend by revealing the sheer heterogeneity among this population and their behaviours, and in illuminating new lines of enquiry that have received comparatively less attention in the past. - Beth Weaver, Lecturer, University of Strathclyde, in Probation Journal
