Robinson and Crow have developed a satisfactory primer on the complex and increasingly important topic of offender rehabilitation...Offender Rehabilitation is well-written, easy to comprehend, and touches upon major issues in less than 200 pages... [it] provides a framework for scholars and students to understand the topic. It is easily read and written by experts in the field. Anyone interested in the topic of offender rehabilitation should read this book Daniel W. Phillips IIIThe Kentucky Journal of Anthropology and Sociology
The focus of the book was not quite right for this course. I will recommend it to students on other course though
I have recommended this to learners on the Foundation Degree in Criminal Justice (Security and Offender Management) as well as the BA (hons) Security and Offender Management. Combines research, theory, policy, and practice in dealing with offender behaviour and rehabilitation
Useful well written text giving context, theory and legislation to this subject. Students themselves found this a helpful research tool
This book is excellent. It was recommended to me by a Criminology Lecturer at LJMU. Great overview of what rehabilitation is from a critical perspective and provides a nice overview of the ‘what works?’ movement. I highly recommend this book for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
I have strongly recommended this book to the Foundation Studies in Policing students and colleagues, as it covers many of the areas we address on our course, in terms of addressing offending behaviour, theoretical perspectives and up to date research in offender management. It is clearly written and offers an overview of the issues intrinsic in working with offenders.
This book allows you to really get your head around all angels of offender rehabilitation from understanding the historical developments to the more recent research.
I will definitely be adding this to my recommended reading for students especially in the lectures on the management of offenders.
Clear and concise text, introducing theory and practice in offender rehabilitation. I would recommend this book but require a more in depth text for it to be considered an essential text. Alongside other texts this book would be more than adequate.
A well written, comprehensive and up-to-date review of the relationship between psychology, moral reasoning theory and offending behaviour.
Good book, clearly written and a useful addition
This is an essential text for probation students and will be highly recommended as essential reading throughout the degree programme.
a good book.
This has been adopted as indicative reading for our Level 1 unit: Introduction to Effective Practice and Risk Management. The book is laid out well, is written very clearly, is informative and concludes each chapter with some thought provoking questions. An excellent resource which provides probation students with the required theoretical grounding for their studies.
An essential & refreshing (re)visit to the key themes of rehabilitation. Clearly written and well structured.
The book is quite well organized and discusses all the important topics, but lacks somewhat in the theoretical grounding Raynor & Robinson's 2005 Rehabilitation (macmillan) offers. I will recommend this book to students for its coherent introduction to how rehabilitation can be made criminologically "sound".
