Over the past twenty years, England and Wales have witnessed many changes to probation governance aimed at shifting control to the central government. However, the changes introduced under the Coalition Government's 2013 Transforming Rehabilitation (TR) agenda are unprecedented: probation has been divided and partially privatized. This topical book looks at the attitudes of probation practitioners and managers toward the philosophy, values, and practicalities of TR. Based on a unique online survey of over 1,300 respondents that found practitioners were unequivocally opposed to TR's broad aims and objectives, Privatising Probation provides unique insights into the true beliefs of probation staff and how they deliver these services. Including broader discussion of the privatization and marketization debate and placing the privatization of criminal justice services and questions of legitimacy and governance in context, this book is essential reading for everyone interested in the future of probation.

Focusing on the evolving role of the probation service, this study examines how practitioners within the National Probation Service for England and Wales and the National Offender Management Service perceive their responsibilities. It explores their alignment with the shift towards risk assessment and public protection, contrasting it with the traditional goal of rehabilitating offenders into pro-social citizens. The research highlights the extent of changes in values, attitudes, and practices among probation professionals in response to these macro and mezzo level transformations.

Taking in 12 cycling challenges, one a month for a year, across Britain and northern and southern Europe, this book chronicles the experiences and looks at what it takes to tackle some of the most iconic events in cycling.
