Sommario/riassunto

Criminal behaviour continues to be a matter of major public concern. How should society respond? What should be done with those who offend repeatedly? Offender Rehabilitation and Treatment links theory, research and practice in a coherent way by providing a systematic, evidence-based approach for the effective reduction of criminal behaviour. James McGuire has brought together internationally renowned experts from a variety of specialisms to present the cutting edge of the most recent and exciting developments in this field.
