This important and original new book reports on a major
investigation of the outcomes of probation supervision, is
concerned with the key question of what works in probation, and
comes at an important moment of change and development for the
probation service in the UK. Unlike previous studies which have
relied mostly on official data, this book makes use of over 200
interviews with men and women on probation, and their supervising
Probation Officers. Rethinking What Works with Offenders has the
following objectives: to understand probation work from the
perspectives of those who deliver it and those to whom it is
delivered to study probation intervention as a whole (in particular
the probation order) rather than specific aspects to locate
probation work in the wider social contexts of those on probation
to analyse how probation works, and to reconceptualise probation
outcomes in terms of degrees of success rather than as 'successful'
or 'unsuccessful' to assess the policy implications of these
conclusions This book presents an important and challenging range
of findings on 'what works' in probation and with offenders, and
will be essential reading for anybody professionally concerned with
the present and future of probation. raises central issues at a
critical time for the reorganised National Probation Servicebased
on extensive research, including 200+ interviewsessential reading
for anybody interested in 'what works' in probation
