A panoramic view of probation: Can undercover journalism keep us safe
Undercover: Can Probation keep us safe? – the Panorama programme which was shown on BBC television in May 2024 employed an undercover journalist to investigate the quality of supervision provided within an approved premises.

In 2021, HM Inspectorate of Probation published a long awaited and highly critical report – Race equality in probation: the experience of black, Asian and minority ethnic probation service users and staff.

Personal rehabilitation concerns how …
Riots, Revolution and Rehabilitation: The Future of Probation
The probation service currently faces an unprecedented attack on its future existence as a public sector agency, publicly funded and accountable to local communities. This attack is partly a reflection of the ideological drive, begun under New Labour and accelerated under the current coalition arrangements to segment and privatise correctional services, and partly a result of a renewed criticism on the effectiveness of the rehabilitative endeavou…
Evaluating Group Care: Should we leave it to the experts
Using residential work with problem drinkers as a case in point, Steve Collett and Richard Hook argue that the evaluation of projects by their own staff is a necessary prerequisite for the improvement of services to users. In particular, they suggest that despite the complexities of the evaluative enterprise, project workers are nevertheless well placed to undertake evaluations which will often be more useful than ones carried out by specialist ‘…
