Probation, Temporary Release Schemes, and Reconviction: Theory and Practice

by Philip Whitehead

Aimed at the probation service, this book is an account of Cleveland's promotion of temporary release as a constructive component of throughcare when re-integrating offenders into their local community after serving custodial sentences. The authors remind the reader that criminal justice solutions cannot exist in isolation from social policy and therefore political decision. The book should provide a challenge to service managers and practitioners, as well as policy-makers.
