Therefore, unsurprisingly, it wasachallengetoidentifysuitablecontributorstothisvolume.Eventuallywe did succeed in identifying academics and researchers who have through their previous work revealed a commitment to understanding offender compliance and its mechanisms. We are therefore very grateful to all the contributors for respondingfavourablytoourrequesttocontributetothebookandforthetime andefforttheyinvestedinmakingthisworkareality. WearealsogratefultotheSwanseaUniversityCriminologyDepartmentfor allowing one of us a period of sabbatical leave during the production of the book.Finally,wewishtoexpressourthankstoallthosewhoworkedinvarious capacities to support the production of this book, especially Julia Willan and HarrietBarkeratPalgraveMacmillanandDevasenaVedamurthiatIntegra. ix
