Offenders; Probation services

The changes to probation governance introduced under the 2013 Transforming Rehabilitation (TR) agenda are unprecedented: probation has been divided and partially privatised. Based on a unique online survey of 1,300 respondents, Privatising Probation provides unique insights into the attitudes of probation practitioners and managers toward the philosophy, values, and practicalities of TR and how they deliver the service. Including broader discussion of the privatisation and marketisation debate, this book is essential reading for everyone interested in the future of probation.
