'This book consists of a series of useful essays by 20 high-powered contributors, which on the one hand amount to an indictment of current government policies and criminal justice practice, and on the other offer details of several hopeful initiatives which may bear fruit in the future... The book considers the fascinating subject of crimogenic needs - what is it exactly that makes the offender commit the offence? Real motives are not always the ostensible ones.'

- Quaker in criminal justice, Adrian Smith
