Rethinking What Works with Offenders Probation, Social Context and Desistance from Crime

"This new edition of "Rethinking what works with offenders" is an opportunity to take stock of the exceptional contribution of this flagship book to the study of desistance."

Isabelle F.-Dufour, Laval University, Canada

"Some books are a turning point in your research interests and Rethinking What Works with Offenders encouraged me to devote more time to reading the desistance literature and to undertaking research on desistance that we were able to carry out in the next decade."

José Cid, University of Barcelona, Spain,

"...it is the skillful weaving of the agentic and structural/rule-driven dimensions involved in the probation-probationer dyad that stands as one of the lasting legacies of the book."

Mark Halsey, Flinders University, Melbourne, Australia.
