'Robinson and Crow have achieved the seemingly impossible: a book
about rehabilitation that transcends the "medical model", that is
original and contemporary yet grounded in a sophisticated history,
and most of all that is fun to read. It will become a new classic
text in a field that has been crying out for one' - Professor Shadd
Maruna, Queen's University, Belfast 'In an age where there is much
public and political confusion about many criminal justice matters,
this book brings considerable clarity to the idea of
rehabilitation, its theoretical and historical roots, and
contemporary practical application. This is an accessible, lively,
and critical account of a concept which is central to the shape of
the criminal justice system in pursuance of something that will
"work" to reduce reoffending. "Rehabilitation" seems to go in and
out of fashion depending on the politics of the day, but the
careful and thorough examination of the different contexts in which
it operates and competing perspectives on its potential offered
here highlights its enduring qualities. This is a fascinating and
engaging book by two established and "real world" scholars which
will serve students and policy makers alike in the fields of
criminal justice and social policy' - Loraine Gelsthorpe, Reader in
Criminology and Criminal Justice, Institute of Criminology,
University of Cambridge This comprehensive text explains all the
key themes in the development and practice of offender
rehabilitation. It explores how the issue fits within its wider
social and political contexts, giving an insight into its current
and future relevance to criminal justice. The book covers the full
range of rehabilitative approaches, exploring how criminal justice
responses have been influenced by trends such as the treatment
model, 'What Works?', desistance, risk and public protection, and
changes in social policy. It offers the following essential
features: " theoretical grounding - providing students with all the
essential background they need in order to fully understand the
subject " historical context - enabling the reader to see how
ideas, policies and practices have developed over time " research
focus - introducing the reader to questions about how
rehabilitative approaches have been evaluated and debates about
'what works' for particular groups of offenders, such as sexual
offenders and drug misusers " study questions and further reading -
giving students the tools both to revise and to expand their
knowledge Offender Rehabilitation both advances thinking about the
notion of rehabilitation, and ensures that students of crime and
justice can keep abreast of the most recent developments in this
area.
