'This is an important book and one that I would certainly choose to have close by my side. There is a rare humanity and wisdom about it.' - Greg Mantle, Anglia Polytechnic University, Chelmsford 'This is at times not an easy book to read, but it deals in a profound and comprehensive fashion with a subject which is of fundamental importance to our society. The vast bibliography helps to make this a very useful textbook.' - David Mathieson, Probation Journal
