Risk in Probation Practice

by Hazel Kemshall

Presents results of a UK study on identification of hazards in probation work and their reduction. Part I reviews differing approaches to regulating risk decisions, and Part II provides insight into how staff and managers are routinely adapting management processes on risk to their own value frames and practice concerns. Part III addresses issues of congruity between management regulatory processes and practitioner activities on risk. Includes vignettes and questions, and sample training materials.
