Recenzje

’The strength of Wincup’s exploratory research lies in its qualitative focus producing a wealth of practitioner accounts. While small-scale, she has nevertheless drawn together a clear and familiar picture of the dilemmas faced by hostel staff...The end result is a book that captures the unique richness and dynamic nature of hostel work.’ Probation Journal
