Rezensionen

"Professor Goodman cares about the probation service but,
more particularly, he cares about the way that our society responds
to those who are vulnerable and disadvantaged, troublesome and in
trouble. This concern, and his desire to see professional and
compassionate rehabilitation and resettlement services, are clearly
conveyed in his book." (The Howard Journal of Criminal
Justice, 6 January 2014)
"Given the unique combination of political and practice analysis,
along with personal and practitioner experience, this book offers a
valuable contribution to the understanding of probation in the
rehabilitation and resettlement of offenders in the community.
Practitioners are provided with the tools and prompts with which to
reflect on their work, and academics are provided with the
collective wisdom of practitioners in understanding the daily
experiences and challenges of rehabilitative practice." Probation
Journal, June 2013
