Causes & prevention of crime; Rehabilitation of offenders

This is the first book that uses the latest research evidence to build guidance on community-based rehabilitation with the aim of challenging stigma and marginalisation.

The case studies discussed, and a strengths-based approach emphasises the importance of long-term recovery and the role that communities and peers play in the process.

Best examines effective methods for community growth, offers sustainable ways of promoting social inclusion and puts forward a new drug strategy and a new reform policy for prisons.

Reviews for Pathways to Recovery and Desistance: The Role of the Social Contagion of Hope

I've been waiting for a book like this. Not only does David Best clearly outline the theoretical framework that underpins his approach to addiction and recovery, he gives clear, straightforward examples of how they work in practice. This book is that rare thing; a manual for researchers and practitioners alike. --Rowdy Yates, President of European Federation of Therapeutic Communities
