"This collection provides a clarion call for a reimagined rehabilitative endeavour that is rooted in these values ... is culturally sensitive and seeks to heal the harms resulting from criminality rather than compound them." (Lawrence Burke, Current Issues in Criminal Justice, November 29, 2023)

"The handbook features a superb collection of thirty-seven substantive chapters, written by more than sixty contributors. The breadth and depth of the material is impressive ... . a handbook that not only shines light on the diversity of rehabilitative work across the globe but instils a sense of hope, passion and empathy in the reader situates The Palgrave Handbook of Global Rehabilitation in Criminal Justice as an essential read for anyone interested in the theory, policy and/or practice of rehabilitation." (Helena Gosling, International Criminology, September 13, 2023)"I found this book to be inspirational - and a constant reminder of the brilliant work that is attempted in the world of a rehabilitative ideal, often in the face of adverse conditions. ... A fascinating book, well worth reading in full, or dipping in and out of." (Chris Martin, BJCJ - The British Journal of Community Justice, July 26, 2023)
