Review :
"What Works in Crime Prevention and Rehabilitation: Lessons From Systematic Reviews, a volume in the Springer series on evidence-based crime policy, is a timely collection of 12 compendious chapters written by leading scholar ... . Weisburd et al. is currently the best sourcebook of "big data" on correctional programs and would appeal to varied audiences, such as criminal justice policymakers and practitioners; crime prevention researchers and scholars; and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in criminology courses." (Arthur J. Lurigio, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol, 61 (40), October, 2016)​
