The book illustrates the diversity of disposals society imposes on those who offend. However, by drawing on best practice in the UK and elsewhere, readers are reminded that there are alternatives and that these may prove more effective and more humane. Students reading this work will come away informed and challenged. * Gavin Dingwall, De Montfort University, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is an important text for those studying punishment. Looking at penology beyond imprisonment alone, the content of this book appropriately deals with penal theory and practice within the wider context of the criminal justice system as a whole. A welcome contribution is the writer’s encouragement of readers to think and question for themselves throughout, providing a very useful source for educators and students. * Helen Nichols, University of Lincoln, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
