After a serious further offence
This article examines probation practitioners’ experiences of supervising an individual who commits a serious further offence (SFO). In particular, it explores the impact on staff of the Probation Service's processes for reviewing practice following an SFO. The article draws on findings from two small-scale qualitative studies, which investigated the perspectives of practitioners and managers with experience of these processes. The findings show …
Reflecting on flexibility in the probation system
The criminological literature affirms that the flexibility of probation officers is a very important aspect and highly valued by the community users' population and, in fact, is an important element that stands out in good-quality supervision in the community. However, flexibility remains an abstract concept and varies according to different jurisdictions. Moreover, there is little literature on what it means in theory and in practice to be flexi…
Probation and the ethics of care
Discussions of probation's values can be enriched by an appreciation of care ethics. This approach is explained with attention to its emphasis on relationships and individualisation. The implications for probation's work are explored, including its significance for the supervisory relationship, its challenges for the management of the organisation and the value of individualised approaches. Care ethics argues for practice shaped not by rules and …

This article is about the experience of telephone supervision from the perspective of practitioners. It is set in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, which changed and challenged the nature of probation supervision and required service users and supervisors to communicate remotely, using the telephone, rather than by meeting face-to-face. The article explores some of the impacts and consequences of telephone contact and examines the extent to w…
Resettlement and the case for women
This article is about women caught in the cycle of persistent offending, breach and recall. We consider the resettlement challenges faced by this group of women and the extent to which these challenges can be met by the criminal justice system. We reflect on the impact of the Offender Rehabilitation Act 2014 and of statutory post-sentence supervision on the speed of the revolving door between custody and the community. The article draws on some d…
