Reviews

Nina Hanssen and Are Hoidal have written a unique book about the well recognized and highly succesful Norwegian correctional services. Unlike almost any other such institution worldwide the Norwegians have managed to implement workable solutions in this field, resulting in positive outcomes otherwise unheard of globally. They have proven that it actually works to try to correct crimnals - rather than just punishing them. The book covers perspectives from both inmates and employees and it will be able to motivate both leaders and employees in the field as well as anybody else who is interested in correctional services. I can highly recommend this very interesting and relevant book . Frans Orsted Andersen, Associate Professor, Aarhus University, Denmark
