This book brings together emerging international research on how specific, evidence-based practice and skills in criminal justice can lead to positive outcomes, such as desistance from crime, reduced re-offending, and active service-user engagement. Contributors address skills and practices that can be applied across a range of criminal justice settings—particularly in probation, youth justice, and private sector settings—while exploring the organizational and wider policy contexts that might affect their implementation and efficacy. Uniquely global in its scope, this book is of particular relevance to the larger push to transform the nature of criminal rehabilitation.

"Im often asked what practitioners can do to encourage and support desistance from crime. Now I know exactly what to tell them: read this book! This remarkable collection reviews the evidence base for everything from emotional work in probation to the recruitment of ex-offender engagement workers. It is an essential resource for understanding effective rehabilitation." Shadd Maruna, Professor of Criminology, University Manchester "A well-articulated and comparative evidence base for the construction of effective working relationships in probation practice....a must read for practitioners and policy makers." Dr Aaron Pycroft, University of Portsmouth
