Product Description
Product Description
The What Works initiative is having a profound impact on the work of the National Probation Service, and much has been invested in new accredited programmes - both in terms of the numbers of offenders planned to complete these programmes and their anticipated impact upon offending. Yet there has been little scholarly or professional discussion of the nature and risks of the new paradigm: it is important that it is subjected to critical debate and scrutiny. This book aims to provide a critical overview of What Works, providing a wider set of perspectives on a project which is vital for the future of the National Probation Service.

Format:Paperback
This book was on my reading list when I was at University studying Criminal Justice Studies. This is very good background reading although if you are new to the subject you may have to read relevant chapters more than once to fully grasp each authors concept and critique of the current and changing state of the service. The good thing about this book is that you can go to different chapters as per your interest. Also you will be able to reflect on the changes and reference key poins as things evolve and change again, perhaps going full circle. A good keeper. This book dosn't give examples for good practice and working with offenders.. other books do that , this dosnt set out to. I still have this book and wouldn't give it away.
