`For anyone with an interest in offender supervision...this book is absolutely essential reading. it marks a watershed in the development of research and scholarship in this field, of offering an unparalleled collection of cutting-edge essays on the key issues. It will become an indispensible point of reference for many years to come.' Professor Mike Hough, Kings College London, and President of the British Society of Criminology.
`This is a hugely welcome addition to the literature on work with offenders...offer[ing] the intellectual basis for moving correctional practice beyond the original "what works" agenda, to a new and more effective focus on individual relationships, trust and legitimacy." Professor Mike Maguire, Cardiff University and University of Glamorgan.
`Criminal justice systems across Europe face major social, political and financial challenges at this time...[T]his collection could not be more timely; it will be of great value to the many policy-makers, managers and practitioners working hard to improve offender supervision, deliver community justice and make communities Safer.' Leo Tigges, Secretary General, CEP The European Prbation Organisation.
This major new book brings together leading researchers to describe and analyse internationally significant theoretical and empirical work on offender supervision, and to address the policy and practice implications of this work within and across jurisdictions. The book draws out the lessons that can be learned not just from studying `what works?', but from exploring how and why particular practices support desistance in specific jurisdictional, cultural and local contexts.
Offender Supervision will be essential reading for academics, undergraduate and postgraduate students, policy makers, managers and practititioners interested in offender supervision.
