Managing Persistent and Serious Offenders in the Community - Moore, Robin a Gray, Emily a Roberts, Colin a Taylor, Emily a Merrington, Simon

In recent years, the establishment of community programmes for offenders has become an important new component of penal policy. Expectations of these programmes have been high, but the evidence relating to their effectiveness is mixed, and a number of critical concerns have emerged. This book seeks to address these issues, whilst providing a timely review of the current literature.
