Description

Contributors include leading international academics and practitioners.
Trade Review“This can be found in the autobiographies of many reformed characters from the field. The perspectives in this collection do, however, provide progressive insights into a pragmatic way forward for those battling away in their professional lives against the harm involved in alcohol-related violence.” (The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice, 5 June 2014)
“This is a useful and instructive book, with all the information laid out in an accessible way. Its practical and versatile nature means it will ‘hit the spot’ for a diverse range of readers – policymakers, health and social-care commissioners, researchers and students of alcohol studies, and practitioners in this field, especially those working with offenders in prison and elsewhere within the criminal justice system.” (DrugLink, 1 July 2013)
“The book’s key strength is in the breadth of approaches presented, and it represents a strong step towards a more integrated approach to studying and reducing alcohol-related violence." (Addiction, 4 June 2013)
