“This can be found in the autobiographies of many reformed characters from the field. The perspectives in this collection do, however, provide progressive insights into a pragmatic way forward for those battling away in their professional lives against the harm involved in alcohol-related violence.”  (The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice, 5 June 2014)“This is a useful and instructive book, with all the information laid out in an accessible way. Its practical and versatile nature means it will ‘hit the spot’ for a diverse range of readers – policymakers, health and social-care commissioners, researchers and students of alcohol studies, and practitioners in this field, especially those working with offenders in prison and elsewhere within the criminal justice system.”  (DrugLink, 1 July 2013)“The book’s key strength is in the breadth of approaches presented, and it represents a strong step towards a more integrated approach to studying and reducing alcohol-related violence."  (Addiction, 4 June 2013)
