| Summary: | Introduction: Understanding Offender Rehabilitation -- Theoretical Framework: Activity Theory and Innovation in The Public Sector -- Empirical Evidence: A Detailed Case Study of A Successful Alternative to Imprisonment -- Moving The State of The Art Forward: Suggestions on CO-created Alternatives to Imprisonment as a Means to Rehabilitate Offenders in The Community -- Final Remarks. "Drawing on original research on community-based alternatives to offender rehabilitation, this book provides an up to date depiction of the challenges faced by front-line workers at the interface between criminal justice and welfare systems striving to address needs and provide multifaceted solutions.

The book explores how AT can be used to help design commensurate interventions that give voice to all the interested actors involved in the rehabilitation process and providing readers with tools that help translate theory into practice.
