Drawing on case studies of in-depth narrative and visual interview data with two ‘veteran offenders’, the article draws attention to a complex ‘dance of disclosure’ around military service and criminal records. The article demonstrates how the complexity of the pains of criminalisation can make (re-)finding a sense of purpose and self-worth difficult for former military personnel who must continually decide whether to disclose or obscure their military past, depending on the criminal punishment context. This critical analysis makes visible a potential continuum of state harm for those criminalised and managed as ‘veteran offenders’.","PeriodicalId":45814,"journal":{"name":"PROBATION JOURNAL","volume":"69 1","pages":"318 - 336"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65090578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Race equality and probation – a view from the frontline","authors":"N. Carr","doi":"10.1177/02645505221097517","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/02645505221097517","url":null,"abstract":"This issue of the journal includes an important piece by Mariam Rashid, a practitioner working in England. Mariam’s practice note reflects on what she describes as ‘complex complicity’ as a woman of colour working in a criminal justice system that disproportionately processes people from racial and ethnic minorities. Evidence of this disproportionality has been set out in a range of research and reports over many years, including most prominently in the Lammy Report published in 2017 which documented differential treatment and outcomes for Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic individuals at all stages of the criminal justice system (Lammy, 2017). The Lammy Report outlined that people from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic backgrounds are disproportionately targeted by police Stop and Search practices and are over-represented at all stages of the system and especially in the youth justice system and prison population. The data cited in the Lammy Report is from 2015/16, but a look at the most recent statistics shows that depressingly the dial has not shifted on this issue, despite a series of recommendations aimed at addressing the causes of disproportionality. In 2020 Black people comprised 3% of the population in England and Wales, but constituted 18% of all Stop and Searches, and 13% of the prison population (Ministry of Justice, 2021). In the interim of course, we have also seen the publication of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities Report (2021), which was widely criticized from a range of quarters for diluting the concept of ‘institutional racism’ and downplaying the structural factors impacting on people from racial and ethnic minorities living in the United Kingdom (Runnymede Trust, 2021;Walker and Parveen, 2021). This has raised questions about this government’s commitment to meaningfully addressing the impacts of racial and ethnic disparities in all areas of society, including in the criminal justice system. In 2021 we also saw the publication of the Probation Inspectorate’s Thematic Review of Race Equality in probation (HMIP, 2021). Importantly this review looked at the experiences of both probation service users and staff. Several issues of concern are documented including gaps in service provision and a decline in probation services’ focus on racial equality following the implementation of Transforming Rehabilitation reforms. The thematic review also noted black, Asian and minority ethnic staff concerns’ regarding transparency of recruitment and selection practices and a lack of confidence in raising issues of racial discrimination.

Drawing on original analysis of Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority transparency data it reveals the scale of the denial of victimisation as a so-called ‘collateral consequence of a criminal record’. The policy is then critiqued on the basis that it reproduces the problematic social construction of the ‘ideal victim’, delineates people with criminal records as subaltern citizens and gives rise to harmful secondary victimisation of applicants whose criminal records are often unrelated to their victimisation event.","PeriodicalId":45814,"journal":{"name":"PROBATION JOURNAL","volume":"69 1","pages":"353 - 372"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46328511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper is part of a wider investigation, which explores what happened to probation services in France and in Scotland during this time of national emergency. Qualitative interviews with 29 French and 27 Scottish probation staff took place during the initial lockdown, the authors wishing to capture the personal and organisational experience of practising probation at this unprecedented time. In this paper, the authors explore how probation staff in both countries responded to the news of the lockdown and how they adapted to working in these fundamentally altered circumstances. The paper explores what took place and therefore what is left of probation when the vast majority of what it usually entails becomes no longer possible. The study reveals similarities between the countries in how as human beings, probation staff responded to the pandemic and the imposition of the lockdown; it also uncovers differences in the practice that emerged, these differences reflecting the different historical roots of the two services and differences in the way that they are structured.","PeriodicalId":45814,"journal":{"name":"PROBATION JOURNAL","volume":"69 1","pages":"197 - 215"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47559903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carr","doi":"10.1177/02645505221082861","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/02645505221082861","url":null,"abstract":"This issue of the journal contains several articles that focus on women in the criminal justice system. These traverse a range of different geographical contexts, including Lithuania, Catalonia, the United States and England and Wales, and explore issues ranging from probation staff perspectives to women’s experiences of victimisation. and stigmatization. A common theme of many of the contributions is the pervasive impacts of systemic failures that mean that the criminal justice system becomes the point of recourse for addressing social needs. This is a longstanding refrain echoed in a plethora of research on women and the criminal justice system, so much so that that is has become depressingly familiar. So too are responses that situate the solution within the purview of the criminal justice system. The National Audit Office has just published a report on the outcomes for women in the criminal justice system in England and Wales (NAO, 2022). The report cites familiar data regarding the profile of women in the criminal justice system, including the fact that while the female prison population remains relatively low (4%), the preponderance of custodial sentences are for less than 12 months (77%), and reoffending rates on release from custody remain stubbornly high. 71% if women reoffended following custodial sentences of less than 12 months in 2016 (NAO, 2022). Notwithstanding the wealth of evidence regarding the harmful effects of custody and the ineffectiveness of prison sentences in reducing offending, the government has recently committed to the expansion of the prison estate. In 2021 the Ministry of Justice announced plans to expand provision by building up to 500 additional prison places for women at an estimated cost of £200 million. This forecast expenditure contrasts with just £9.5 million allocated by the Ministry to fund services for women in the community between 2018 and 2022, and an allocation of £4.8 million in 2020–2022 towards developing five planned Residential Women’s Centres (RWCs), which are intended to reduce the numbers of women remanded into custody (NAO, 2022). The National Audit Office’s analysis of this imbalanced expenditure, which they assess in light of the government’s own policy commitments set out in the Female Offender Strategy, (MoJ, 2018) makes for stark reading. The Female Offender Strategy included plans to reduce the number of women entering the criminal justice system by providing support in the community at an earlier stage; have fewer women in custody (especially for short sentences) and utilise community sentences to a greater degree, where appropriate, and to create better conditions for women in custody, including increased supports on release (MoJ, 2018).

Probation quickly implemented an exceptional delivery model to protect the health and safety of staff and service users. Covid-19 has highlighted societal disparities across the world, it can be suggested that this has hugely impacted the lives of women and further extending the gender inequality gap. Although acknowledging that this is a small-scale study, it does provide a platform for women to voice and share their experiences of both problematic challenges encountered and the opportunities embraced during the first national lockdown. Firstly, the importance of supervisory relationships kept women feeling connected, emotionally supported and provided a source for practical advice. Secondly, the experiences of lockdown were felt differently dependant on the vulnerabilities and complexities of women; in short, the greater the priority need the more issues and obstacles women encountered. Thirdly, remote probation supervision was regarded as the safest and appropriate way to approach the unchartered waters of Covid-19. And finally, there was shared optimism to return to 'normal' face-to-face supervision, re-engage with services that had been paused or interrupted to aid recovery and rehabilitation.</p>","PeriodicalId":45814,"journal":{"name":"PROBATION JOURNAL","volume":" ","pages":"6-23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8914296/pdf/10.1177_02645505211041576.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40311595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
