Rethinking What Works with Offenders

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This important and original new book reports on a major investigation of the outcomes of probation supervision, is concerned with the key question of what works in probation, and comes at an important moment of change and development for the probation service in the UK. Unlike previous studies which have relied mostly on official data, this book makes use of over 200 interviews with men and women on probation, and their supervising Probation Officers. Rethinking What Works with Offenders has the following objectives: to understand probation work from the perspectives of those who deliver it and those to whom it is delivered to study probation intervention as a whole (in particular the probation order) rather than specific aspects to locate probation work in the wider social contexts of those on probation to analyse how probation works, and to reconceptualise probation outcomes in terms of degrees of success rather than as 'successful' or 'unsuccessful' to assess the policy implications of these conclusions This book presents an important and challenging range of findings on 'what works' in probation and with offenders, and will be essential reading for anybody professionally concerned with the present and future of probation. raises central issues at a critical time for the reorganised National Probation Servicebased on extensive research, including 200+ interviewsessential reading for anybody interested in 'what works' in probation

Rezensionen

"This new edition of "Rethinking what works with offenders" is an opportunity to take stock of the exceptional contribution of this flagship book to the study of desistance."

Isabelle F.-Dufour, Laval University, Canada

"Some books are a turning point in your research interests and Rethinking What Works with Offenders encouraged me to devote more time to reading the desistance literature and to undertaking research on desistance that we were able to carry out in the next decade."

José Cid, University of Barcelona, Spain,

"...it is the skillful weaving of the agentic and structural/rule-driven dimensions involved in the probation-probationer dyad that stands as one of the lasting legacies of the book."

Mark Halsey, Flinders University, Melbourne, Australia.
