Rezensionen
"Whitehead is exceptionally well-read and has drawn on a wide range of philosophical, theological, psychological and sociological texts to elaborate his argument and to apply his ideas to criminal justice and probation. ... a book that might be of interest to practitioners and to scholars from different academic disciplines. It could be read with profit by theologians and philosophers as a valuable example of the way in which philosophy and theology can (and should) inspire contemporary debate in public policy." (Rob Canton, Probation Journals, Vol. 63 (1), 2016)
