It also illustrates how the demise of the unit was symptomatic of the centralization of work with offenders, which led to the current loss of independence for professionals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book also offers an exclusive focus on the many changes in National Standards for probation offi cers, which provides readers with a theoretical understanding of the relationship between the public in whose name supervision is being conducted, the supervisors, and the offender. The author has conducted interviews with key staff over many years and has accumulated a rich source of data which offers a unique inside view into the continuing changes within the probation service in the UK and the implications of these changes for the protection of the public.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989931507941,"sku":"NP9780470991701","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470991701.jpg?v=1761785953","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/rehabilitating-and-resettling-offenders-in-the-community-isbn-9780470991701","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
