Description
Reimagining Probation Practice: A Positive Approach to Rehabilitation in England and Wales. This comprehensive book re-examines probation practice, bringing together academics and practitioners to offer a fresh perspective on the rehabilitative endeavour. It covers key themes and job functions of probation work, from court involvement to individual and group interventions, resettlement, public protection, and partnerships. The authors argue that principles such as parsimony, proportionality, and productiveness should be applied to the criminal justice system in its efforts to rehabilitate individuals. The book provides a critical history of each area of practice, current policy context, and an overview of good practice, highlighting areas for development. This book is essential reading for those involved in probation training, as well as policymakers, leaders, managers, and anyone interested in social and criminal justice.
