Description
Dictionary of Probation and Offender Management by Rob Canton and David Hancock. The field of probation is evolving rapidly, with a growing emphasis on professionalism. As part of this shift, the term "offender manager" has become increasingly common among probation officers. The creation of NOMS (National Offender Management Service) has expanded the scope of the Probation Service, introducing new ideas and concepts into its lexicon. This dictionary is an essential reference for both students and practitioners in the field. Covering key terms and concepts related to criminal justice and offender management, this dictionary provides approximately 300 entries on topics such as institutional, legal, political, and theoretical frameworks, as well as concepts from sociology, criminology, and psychology. Edited by a leading academic and practitioner in the probation and offender management field, the entries include summary definitions, main texts, and key sources. With contributions from experts in the field, this dictionary takes into account emerging occupational standards and Skills for Justice criteria, making it an invaluable resource for anyone working or studying in the area of probation and offender management.
