RT Article T1 Contemporary probation practice: Some reflections on social class JF Probation journal VO 71 IS 1 SP 87 OP 95 A1 Coley, David LA English YR 2024 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1885427840 AB The role that social class plays within the desistance journeys of individuals on probation is largely unexplored. This lack of understanding is acknowledged as a limitation within theorising around desistance processes. It also prompts questions as to the awareness of class and classism issues amongst probation staff and their practice approaches within this difficult area of professional application. This reflective paper offers some discussion areas in which probation staff can collectively consider their experiences within this field, as well as those under their supervision. It is suggested that this topic requires greater attention amongst all involved in providing probation services.
