More about the book
Focusing on the evolving role of the probation service, this study examines how practitioners within the National Probation Service for England and Wales and the National Offender Management Service perceive their responsibilities. It explores their alignment with the shift towards risk assessment and public protection, contrasting it with the traditional goal of rehabilitating offenders into pro-social citizens. The research highlights the extent of changes in values, attitudes, and practices among probation professionals in response to these macro and mezzo level transformations.
