Reviews
" ... this book deserves to be read by anyone interested in the interactions of politics, public sector management theory and the penal system; there are glimmers of hope, but in the main it shows why NOMS has been nicknamed, after the London base of the Home Office, as 'Nightmare on Marhsma Street.'" Martin Wright
"For students and academics who really want to understand the issues, ideology and implications underpinning NOMS, this book is a carefully constructed contribution from those best placed to comment: heavyweight academics and practitioners with years of correctional experience." Prison Service Journal
"The Authors provide an intelligent discussion of a move towards a national offender management system in Great Britain.... a necessary resource for anyone interested in national offender management systems ... a valuable addition to the library....." International Criminal Justice Review
