Making Good: How Ex-Convicts Reform and Rebuild Their Lives


By Dr. Shadd Maruna
Winner of an American Society of Criminology Award for Most Outstanding Contribution To Criminology, this meticulously researched book describes the process through which hard-core criminal recidivists desist from crime to lead productive lives.

It suggests that success in reform depends on providing rehabilitative opportunities that encourage rehabilitation. 210 pages. 2007.
