출판사 서평

“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
