The "What Works" initiative is having a profound impact on the work
of the National Probation Service in the UK, and much has been
invested in new accredited programs - both in terms of the numbers
of offenders planned to complete these programs and their
anticipated impact upon offending. Yet there has been little
scholarly or professional discussion of the nature and risks of the
new paradigm. It is important that it is subjected to critical
debate and scrutiny. This book provides a critical overview of what
works, providing a wider set of perspectives on a project which is
vital for the future of the National Probation Service. It has the
following objectives: to assess critically the claims of the "What
Works" initiative; to examine the foundations upon which "What
Works" is based; to demonstrate the limitations of the "What Works"
initiative as currently conceived; and to begin the process of
constructing an alternative vision for the National Probation
Service.
