Editorial Reviews

Review

`The comprehensive footnotes and huge range of references indicate the scope and energy of Rock's work ... There is much more useful detailed information here, which could helpfully influence good practice with offenders as well as survivors ... I found this book to be a thorough guide both to the history of survivor groups and to the issues that preoccupy them, as well as a stimulus for improving my work with violent offenders.' David Webb, Labour Campaign for Criminal Justice, no 47, Aug 99
