<p><strong>‘For too long "innovation" has been a dirty word in the field of rehabilitation studies, for fear that anything that deviated from the official script would be deemed correctional "quackery". In this remarkable new book, the quacks strike back! Graham and White have assembled an incredible resource for a new generation of rehabilitation scholars and practitioners unafraid to experiment in the name of better outcomes, and, frankly, better science. Innovative Justice is precisely the right book for a true rehabilitation revolution.’ - </strong><em>Professor Shadd Maruna, Dean of the School of Criminal Justice, Rutgers University Newark, USA</em></p><p><strong>‘This fresh and inspirational book celebrates imaginative and progressive work in many different countries that is making a positive difference to the lives of offenders and those around them. Rather than being preoccupied with risks or needs, these initiatives have in common the guiding belief that creative activities and self-expression enable people to flourish: the route to desistance is most likely to be found by affording people opportunities to transcend their identity as offenders by developing their strengths and achieving their potential.’ - </strong><em>Rob Canton, Professor in Community and Criminal Justice, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK</em></p><p><strong>‘One of the most pressing questions facing criminology today is this: What good can criminal justice do? This isn't just a technical question about "what works". Rather, it suggests a much deeper challenge to frame what Durkheim called "the mission of justice" constructively and to make criminal justice mean something more than, and something better than, harm reduction or containment. Graham and White's excellent and inspiring new collection offers us tantalising glimpses of some possible answers and deserves to be read by anyone and everyone who cares about justice in any of its forms.’ - </strong><em>Fergus McNeill, Professor of Criminology & Social Work, University of Glasgow, UK</em></p><p><strong>'<i>Innovative Justice </i></strong><strong>provides a welcome addition to the field of criminology and criminal justice... </strong><strong>This timely book presents a number of innovative projects in criminal justice from jurisdictions around the world... The research method itself is somewhat <i>innovative</i></strong><strong>, and the authors succeed in delivering a ground-breaking and inspirational book.'</strong> - <i>Dr Daniel Marshall, British Journal of Community Justice</i></p>
