Reviews

""Worthy of Justice provides an in-depth, well-executed look at Veteran Treatment Courts (VTCs) to understand both the policy frameworks that drive them and how they work out on the ground.Rowenfills an important gap in the literature by considering a court that is in some ways defined by the general belief that its participants are worthy and deserving. A highly interesting and important book."" --Julie Novkov, University at Albany, SUNY ""Rowen beautifully illustrates constructions of deservingness and the nexus of intersecting social policies. This book is useful for policymakers and stakeholders who are involved with or are considering engagement with VTCs, as well as for those who are interested in or work with veterans, or veterans themselves. An engaging and accessible book that covers new conceptual ground."" --Corey Schdaimah, co-author of The Compassionate Court?: Support, Surveillance, and Survival in Prostitution Diversion Programs
