Recensioner i media

I thoroughly enjoyed this book...Generous use of headings and sub-headings makes the pieces even more reader friendly and each is well finished with a conclusion...Each piece is thoroughly well informed and makes its own interesting contribution. The authors too possess impressive credentials and experience in probation practice, academic work and research.
