Over the last few years intensive community programmes for both
young and adult offenders have become established in the UK as an
important new component of penal policy - the ISSP (Intensive
Supervision and Surveillance Programme) for persistent and serious
young offenders, and the ICCP (Intensive Control and Change
Programme) for adult offenders. Expectations of these programmes
have been high, but the evidence relating to their effectiveness is
mixed, and a number of critical concerns have emerged. This book
seeks to address these issues, providing a timely review of the
current literature, and presents findings of a recent national
evaluation of ISSP. Emerging lessons for future penal policy are
presented, and set within a wider theoretical context. The book
concludes by stressing the need for greater realism and further
evidential support if such programmes are to gain long-term
credibility, and also to consider the appropriateness of differing
forms of targeting as well as the emphasis placed on the various
methods of surveillance.
Both probation and youth justice have undergone massive changes in
recent years, and continue to face important new challenges. A key
emphasis of new developments has been on developing effective
evidence-based practice and disseminating this throughout the
Probation and Youth Justice services - reviewed in this book.
