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.

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. The main aim of this book is
to review developments in evidence-based practice in a number of
different areas, bringing together the findings of research
projects commissioned by the British Home Office, the National
Probation Directorate and the Youth Justice Board. This book will
be essential reading for anyone involved in probation and youth
justice practice, or for those taking courses in these fields.
Neighbourhood policing is one of the most significant and high
profile innovations in UK policing in recent times. It has also
been one of the most successful, garnering widespread political and
public support for its objectives and the processes of policing
that it has sought to embed. Indeed, it has recently been described
as the 'bedrock' of the British policing model. But it was not
always so lauded. At the time of its initial development it
encountered considerable opposition and scepticism from both within
and outside of the police. This book tells the story of how and why
the neighbourhood policing model was originally designed and
implemented, and then, what has led to a decline in its prominence
in terms of everyday police practice. To do this, Neighbourhood
Policing draws upon unparalleled empirical data from the authors'
ten-year programme of research to provide unique and compelling
insights into the key practices and processes associated with the
concept and implementation of neighbourhood policing. The chapters
describe how: key processes and practices have evolved and matured;
the ways neighbourhood policing delivers a range of local policing
services; as well as how, in some towns and cities, it has provided
a platform for tackling violent extremism and organised crime. This
approach is used to set out a broader analytic frame that addresses
the conditions under which innovative policing models emerge, are
developed and decline. In so doing, the book engages with wider and
deeper questions about the police function in contemporary society.
