 Rehabilitating and Resettling Offenders in the Community is a significant examination of the historical development of work with offenders and their treatment by the state and society. It offers unique perspectives and a wealth of information drawn from numerous interviews with probation staff. Highlights how the work of probation staff has changed over time and the reasons behind these changes. Includes discourse with probation staff carried out over many years for a comprehensive, 'insiders' view of the situation. Focuses on contemporary issues, including the changes brought in by the Conservative.
