The reunification of probation in England and Wales occurred in June this year, with the private Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) staff joining the public National Probation Service. To mark this the British Journal of Community Justice has published a special issue which presents eight new papers – which are future looking but also draw on learning from the Transforming Rehabilitation (TR) era in England and Wales

The authors will be presenting their findings and undertaking a Q&A.  To book your place: CLICK HERE

  • Matt Tidmarsh and Ian Marder on professionalism in probation
