1. Introduction

All over Europe, the question of how best to manage and implement the resettle- ement and reintegration of released prisoners in society has become increasingly important. Transition management requires work in custody as well as coopera- tion and co-ordination between criminal justice agencies, statutory and voluntary providers and other partners involved in the offender’s resettlement and re- integration. Focusing on high-risk or dangerous offenders in particular, their resettle- ment and re-integration into society requires engagement, planning and work with the prisoner as well as close cooperation between the prison system, proba- tion system and community partners. However, there are serious questions and challenges to be addressed.
