Reviews
'... Children as 'Risk' is a superb monograph that I would recommend to others without hesitation. Indeed, while ostensibly produced for an (interdisciplinary) academic audience, I am convinced that practitioners and public policy-makers alike will benefit from reading McAlinden's analysis ...' Laura Bainbridge, The British Journal of Criminology
