Understanding Risk in Criminal Justice by Hazel Kemshall
Examines the significance of the concept of risk in criminal justice policy, and in the role of criminal justice agencies and crime prevention initiatives. Drawing on key areas of criminal justice practice such as policing, probation and crime prevention, this book examines the extent of this change and reviews the case for a risk-based penology.
