There is now greater understanding that women in conflict with the law need different interventions from men to address their needs and facilitate transitions from custody to community. This book is inspiring; its focus on individual pathways, combined with messages from women themselves provides compelling evidence for new directions in criminal justice policy. Based on Better Pathways in Victoria, Australia, the book deserves wide readership and political action. - Loraine Gelsthorpe, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Cambridge, UK Criminal justice systems all over the world fail to provide effective services for women released from prison. This book shows how it can be done. Based on meticulous research and on the views of service users themselves about what helps, it is essential reading for everyone committed to the development of better resettlement services. - Peter Raynor, Emeritus Research Professor in Criminology and Criminal Justice, Swansea University, UK
