Transforming Probation: Social Theories and the Criminal Justice System de Philip Whitehead

Transforming Probation: Social Theories and the Criminal Justice System

Autor Philip Whitehead
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 noi 2016
Written by an established author in the field, this book explores the politics of modernization and transformation of probation in the criminal justice system. It is unique in drawing upon innovative social theories and moral perspectives to analyze changes in the probation service by including data from quantitative and qualitative empirical research. This highlights the challenges to, but also support of, the platform of modernization that culminated in the transformative Rehabilitation Revolution. Providing critical tools for the reader to use in their own work and studies, it makes a timely contribution to criminal justice and probation theory and uniquely provides insights into what representatives of other organizations think about probation—from the outside looking in.

Notă biografică

Philip Whitehead is professor of criminal and social justice at the University of Teeside. After studying theology at Manchester University and later qualifying as a social worker/probation officer at Lancaster University, Whitehead worked for the Probation Service in the northeast of England before being appointed lecturer at Teesside University. He has written widely on the history and modernization of the probation service, coedited a collection of papers on managerial issues, and coauthored a book on the education of Trainee Probation Officers. His recent books are Organising Neoliberalism: Markets, Privatisation and Justice and Reconceptualising the Moral Economy of Criminal Justice: A New Perspective.

Recenzii

“During the past twenty years or so through a process involving missed opportunities, misguided policies, and political posturing successive governments have almost squeezed the humanitarian life out of the Probation Service: it lingers still. Although Whitehead argues in this book that the humanitarian role of the Service will not survive, those of us who disagree know that if it is to survive in some form that benefits society by contributing to the rehabilitation of those people who offend, a thorough and critical understanding of that process is crucial. No one is better qualified to deliver that understanding than Whitehead. Not only has he worked within the Service throughout this period but he has shown in his many publications an acute understanding of the history of probation. This book promises to be both the definitive account of its recent past and the critically challenging one that is needed.”

“A meticulous, succinct, and extremely well written analysis of the probation services in the United Kingdom.”
