Reviews
'This book is a well-conceptualized series of perspectives on risk that pulls from a variety of direct service and policy perspectives. Given this variety of contexts, the book would be appropriate for use in a number of settings and would be of benefit to readers in academic, policy, and direct service fields. We left this reading with a much clearer understanding of the way in which characterization of risk influences a range of individuals and with a broader, more informed perspective on our own contributions to the scientific community.' - Social Service Review
