Overview and conclusions.
David Best is Professor of Criminology at Leeds Trinity University and Honorary Professor of Regulation and Global Governance at Australian National University. Trained as a psychologist and criminologist, he has worked in practice, research and policy in the areas of addiction recovery and rehabilitation of offenders.
“I’ve been waiting for a book like this. Not only does David Best
clearly outline the theoretical framework that underpins his
approach to addiction and recovery, he gives clear, straightforward
examples of how they work in practice. This book is that rare
thing; a manual for researchers and practitioners alike.” Rowdy
Yates, President of European Federation of Therapeutic
Communities
''In this remarkable new book, David Best turns his considerable
gifts toward developing a full-fledged sociology of "hope" - surely
the most important and misunderstood concept in the fields of
criminology and addiction studies. My hope is that it starts a
revolution of hope studies in recovery work." Shadd Maruna, Queen's
University Belfast
