Reviews for Evidence-Based Skills in Criminal Justice: International Research on Supporting Rehabilitation and Desistance

I'm often asked what practitioners can do to encourage and support desistance from crime. Now I know exactly what to tell them: read this book! This remarkable collection reviews the evidence base for everything from emotional work in probation to the recruitment of ex-offender engagement workers. It is an essential resource for understanding effective rehabilitation. Shadd Maruna, Professor of Criminology, University Manchester A well-articulated and comparative evidence base for the construction of effective working relationships in probation practice....a must read for practitioners and policy makers.
