This book is a collection of essays by a unique group of authors
about the political destruction of the probation service in England
and Wales. All of them are probation officers turned academics,
with a collective scholarly output that is both prodigious and
distinguished. They address the history of probation, its
underlying values and working methods, and the way it has been
systematically dismantled by successive political administrations.
The book offers essential reading for those interested in
broadening their understanding of the probation service and its
vital role in rehabilitation. In addition it makes a compelling
case for the reinstatement of an evidence-based probation service
as the primary criminal justice agency concerned with helping
people who come before the courts to become contributing citizens.
A lively and engrossing read, it is destined to be invaluable to
policy makers, social science theorists and commentators, as well
as scholars of criminology and the justice system, and all those
who work in it.
