"There is a need for more discussion of the constructive work that practitioners continue to do to support the desistance of ex-offenders despite the present context of punitive populism and risk aversion. This collection of papers on multi-agency work helps to fill that gap." Ros Burnett, Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford "The wide-ranging chapters provide in-depth reviews and important insights into multi-agency work across the criminal justice system, acknowledging the challenges and tensions inherent in recent developments. This is a valuable resource for academics and students and key reading for policy makers, managers and practitioners.
