Promotional Information

"The book brings together in one place the most detailed and insightful assessment of justice reinvestment that I have read. Its observations about the origination of the idea, its spread in the United States ('US') and elsewhere, and the challenges it now poses for penal reformers in my home country, the US, especially are, in my view, spot on. Congratulations to the authors; congratulations and thanks." (Todd Clear, former Provost at Rutgers University-Newark, and former Dean of the School of Criminal Justice)

Reviews

“This book is … a major contribution to Australian public criminology, and the specific issue of the over-incarceration of Aboriginal people across Australia. … As Australia addresses both the overall increases in incarceration, and the specific hyperincarceration of Aboriginal people, this book provides essential reading … for academics, and government and non-government agencies hoping to make a difference.” (Bronwyn Naylor, Alternative Law Journal, Vol. 42 (1), 2017)“The book brings together in one place the most detailed and insightful assessment of justice reinvestment that I have read. Its observations about the origination of the idea, its spread in the United States (‘US’) and elsewhere, and the challenges it now poses for penal reformers in my home country, the US, especially are, in my view, spot on. Congratulations to the authors; congratulations and thanks.” (Todd Clear, Current Issues in Criminal Justice, Vol. 28 (1), 2016)“The authors are to be congratulated for Justice Reinvestment: Winding Back Imprisonment, a book that is well researched and engaging, which stimulates thinking and provokes questions, and is an outstanding work of scholarship.” (Luke McNamara, Current Issues In Criminal Justice, Vol. 28 (1), 2016)
