Review Quotes:
'..for all of their sometimes unacknowledged limitations, I have loved reading these books. I am touched by the hermeneutic empathy with which the authors approach the voices of their sources. If we read these books attentively, we find that they contain immense resources for rethinking our criminal justice fix. I look forward to completing the set.' --Richard Sparks, Edinburgh Law School, University of Edinburgh, Journal of Law and Society
