Offender supervision in Europe has developed rapidly in scale,
distribution and intensity in recent years. However, the emergence
of mass supervision in the community has largely escaped the
attention of legal scholars and social scientists more concerned
with the mass incarceration reflected in prison growth. As well as
representing an important analytical lacuna for penology in general
and comparative criminal justice in particular, the neglect of
supervision means that research has not delivered the knowledge
that is urgently required to engage with political, policy and
practice communities grappling with delivering justice efficiently
and effectively in fiscally straitened times, and with the
challenges of communicating the meaning, legitimacy and utility of
supervision to an insecure public. This book reports the findings
from a survey of European research on this topic, undertaken during
the first year of a European research network that spans twenty
countries. As such, it provides the first comprehensive review of
research on offender supervision in Europe, opening up an important
new field of enquiry for comparative social science, and offering
the prospects of better informed democratic deliberation about key
challenges facing contemporary justice systems, policymakers and
practitioners, and the societies they seek to serve.
