“Parole and Beyond’ represents an invaluable work of scholarship that does not hold its punches. It makes it abundantly clear that ‘supervision risks demotivating the motivated in its hope of restricting the unmotivated’, and the book offers practical and realistic solutions for reform. This collection merits wide readership amongst policymakers, academics, and students alike.” (Mark Alexander, Prison Service Journal, Issue 236, March, 2018)
