The criminal justice system has been in a state of flux in recent
decades, accompanied by growing levels of insecurity and
intolerance of crime and offenders among the general population.
Along with government policy and practice, these developments are
seen as contributing to an increasingly punitive system that
imprisons more than ever before and seeks to punish and manage
offenders in the community, rather than to attempt their
rehabilitation. For these reasons, along with a loss of faith in
rehabilitation, the probation service is now described by many as
having become a law enforcement agency, charged by government with
the assessment and management of risk, the protection of the public
and the management and punishment of offenders, rather than their
transformation into pro-social citizens. This book explores the
extent to which practitioners within the National Probation Service
for England and Wales and the National Offender Management Service
ascribe to the values, attitudes and beliefs associated with these
macro and mezzo level changes and how much their practice has
changed accordingly. By viewing examples of 'real' practice through
the lens of the modernisation of public services, managerialism and
theories of organisation change, the book considers how 'real'
practice is likely to emerge as something unpredictable and perhaps
different from the intentions of both government/management and
practitioners.
