Redemption, Rehabilitation and Risk Management provides the most
accessible and up-to-date account of the origins and development of
the Probation Service in England and Wales. The book explores and
explains the changes that have taken place in the service, the
pressures and tensions that have shaped change, and the role played
by government, research, NAPO, and key individuals from its origins
in the nineteenth century up to the plans for the service outlined
by the Conservative/Liberal Democrat government. The probation
service is a key agency in dealing with offenders; providing
reports for the courts that assist sentencing decisions;
supervizing released prisoners in the community and working with
the victims of crime. Yet despite dealing with more offenders than
the prison service, at lower cost and with reconviction rates that
are lower than those associated with prisons, the Probation Service
has been ignored, misrepresented, taken for granted and
marginalized, and probation staff have been sneered at as
'do-gooders'. The service as a whole is currently under serious
threat as a result of budget cuts, organizational restructuring,
changes in training, and increasingly punitive policies. This book
details how probation has come to such a pass. By tracing the
evolution of the probation service, Redemption, Rehabilitation and
Risk Management not only sheds invaluable light on a much
misunderstood criminal justice agency, but offers a unique
examination of twentieth century criminal justice policy. It will
be essential reading for students and academics in criminal justice
and criminology.
