‘In Transforming Criminal Justice?, Dr Jane Donoghue packs crucial information and insights into a well-written and extremely manageable volume on problem-solving approaches to criminal justice. With a UK focus, but rich in discussion of US, Australian, and other systems, Donoghue presents a sensible and balanced analysis that comes to life, with meaningful quotes from magistrates working with this material in the real-world. The book should be of　great interest to academics, policy-makers, and practitioners alike.’ David B. Wexler, Professor of Law and Director, International Network on Therapeutic Jurisprudence, University of Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico　 ‘Transforming Criminal Justice? offers a rigorous and even-handed examination of an important criminal justice reform movement. By taking a hard look at both the theory and practice of problem-solving justice, Jane Donoghue makes a significant contribution to the field.　This is the place to start for anyone interested in understanding problem-solving courts, not just in the UK, but around the world.’ Greg Berman, Executive Director of the Center for Court Innovation, New York, USA ‘There is much talk of "transforming" this and that within criminal justice, but rarely on transforming justice itself. This brave book, putting problem-solving at the heart of the justice process, will further enhance Jane　Donoghue's reputation as one of the most original and intrepid new voices in criminology.’ Shadd Maruna, Professor and Director of The Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Queen's University Belfast, UK
