Recenzje

"I can highly recommend the book to my junior researcher colleagues in sociology, social work and psychology who are interested in the social and societal mechanisms of recidivism and rehabilitation: The way in which the authors combine spirited freshness with a matured sense of reality rethink rehabilitation is a valuable masterclass in how to produce relevant and responsive research." (Cristina Vasilescu, Journal of Probation, November 4, 2019)
