"The importance of this book is undoubtedly young offenders’ views and experiences of compliance and non-compliance, views and experiences not peculiar to young people alone, nor to the Republic of Ireland alone, but relevant to all age groups and jurisdictions wishing to ensure the success of community-based disposals." —Monica Barry, The Howard Journal Vol 52 no 4.
