This discussion piece emerged out of a conversation about the words we use to describe people who are engaged in and by the criminal justice system. It is underpinned by our belief that language, including the ways we describe people, has important effects in the world. The piece consists of two parts: a brief critical introduction, and a creative dialogue which reflects upon ten key words that have been used to describe people on probation.

Despite the fact that the use of electronic monitoring systems has grown across Europe and within each jurisdiction, comparative research on the matter is scarce. Previous studies have highlighted two relevant aspects. On one hand, the versatility of the measure, in the sense that different (even contradictory) objectives and functions can be attributed to it. On the other hand, the difficulty in measuring and comparing the intensity of its use in different countries. For these reasons, this work aims to compare the areas of implementation of electronic monitoring in two different countries: Spain and Belgium. By looking at the different uses of the measure, the objective is to demonstrate the premise electronic monitoring fits in various phases of the criminal proceeding. Moreover, the research also compares the punitiveness of the measure in both countries by making use of the elements highlighted by Hucklesby et al.. The findings show the difficulty of drawing definitive conclusions about its punitiveness mainly due to the adaptability of electronic monitoring.

The Probation Service in England and Wales has been under a critical spotlight in recent weeks following the publication of two reports by HM Inspectorate of Probation into Serious Further Offences (SFOs) committed by people who were under the supervision of probation services. SFOs are serious and violent and sexual offences committed by people on probation. They are relatively rare, constituting fewer than 0.5% of the probation caseload (HMIP, 2023b). The occurrence of an SFO leads to an automatic review of the supervision of the case prior to the offence being committed. Reviews are ordinarily carried out internally by the Probation Service and are not published, but in both the cases of Damien Bendall and Jordan McSweeney the Secretary of State for Justice requested that the Inspectorate carry out independent reviews. The publication of these reviews at the start of the year has led to increased political and media scrutiny of probation. Both independent SFO reviews deal with horrific cases and document shortcomings in probation practice. In the case of Damien Bendall, this included failures in risk assessment, inappropriate allocation of a complex case to untrained staff and insufficient attention towards child safeguarding and domestic abuse (HMIP, 2023a). The report into the management of Jordan McSweeney’s case also identifies inadequate risk assessment, as well as delays in case allocation and failure to action a timely recall to prison as shortcomings. In both cases, the backdrop of staff shortages, compounded by staff sickness and attrition, as well as stretched practitioners and their immediate managers, feature dominantly:
最近几周，英格兰和威尔士的缓刑服务受到了批评，因为英国皇家缓刑监察局(HM Inspectorate of Probation)发布了两份报告，调查受缓刑服务监督的人犯下的严重进一步罪行(sfo)。sfo是由缓刑人员犯下的严重暴力和性犯罪。它们相对较少，占缓刑案件数量的不到0.5% (HMIP, 2023b)。一旦发生严重舞弊行为，当局会在罪行发生前自动检讨对案件的监管。审查通常由缓刑服务处在内部进行，不公布，但在达米安·本德尔和乔丹·麦克斯威尼两起案件中，司法国务大臣要求监察局进行独立审查。这些审查在年初发表，导致政治和媒体对缓刑的审查增加。这两项独立的SFO审查都涉及可怕的案件，并记录了缓刑实践中的缺陷。在Damien Bendall的案例中，这包括风险评估失败，将复杂案件不适当地分配给未经培训的工作人员，以及对儿童保护和家庭虐待的关注不足(HMIP, 2023a)。这份关于Jordan McSweeney案件管理的报告还指出了风险评估不足、案件分配拖延以及未能及时将其召回监狱等缺点。在这两种情况下，员工短缺的背景，加上员工生病和自然流失，以及从业者和他们的直接管理者捉襟见肘，都是主要的特点:

This article is based on mixed-method participatory research with incarcerated mothers in Ireland. It draws on this research which aimed to profile imprisoned mothers, hear their experiences of motherhood and mothering and examine their available supports. An overview of relevant literature on motherhood, incarceration, trauma and addiction in the context of incarceration is presented, followed by a detailed outline and discussion of the participatory methods used. Participants were involved in the design and implementation of the research, but not the data analysis and reporting. Prominent themes highlighted in the lives of participants include trauma, addiction and mother–child separation. Rich accounts of child and adult trauma, associated addiction and criminality and voluntary and enforced separations from their children are described and discussed. The article concludes with a reflection on the key issues that arose for participants and considers how these might be responded to in the future.

A great benefit exists in giving people on probation the ability to contribute their ideas to the process of ongoing change. The direct experiences of people on probation, and embracing ‘lived experience’, can bring valuable input and unique insights as to what is and is not working within probation. In this comment piece, I outline – through a case study and relevant comment – how service user councils can act as a key reference for the evaluation and improvement of probation services.

Evaluations of domestic violence perpetrator programmes have not produced evidence that they are as effective at reducing male, non-violent, coercively controlling behaviours. This article proposes such limitations are understood by adopting a more complex conceptualisation of coercive control for which the reasons are both gendered and biographically unique. Drawing on document analyses and in-depth interviews with eight programme facilitators and an in-depth case study of one male participant, this article explores the merits and limitations of the cognitive behavioural, skills-based criminal justice programme, Building Better Relationships, in addressing coercively controlling behaviours. The dual (re)conceptualisation of coercive control proposed has implications for both practice and programme evaluation methods.

Rapport-based supervision in probation is linked to positive behavioural change and reduced reoffending for probation service users. However, the process of rapport building is not well documented in probation practice. This study conducted focus groups and interviews with London-based probation practitioners to understand their views of rapport when supervising service users. Thematic analysis generated five themes related to how practitioners facilitated rapport building and maintenance, as well as several barriers that exist towards building and maintaining rapport – these were conceptualised as a rapport-building process. We provide recommendations to help alleviate barriers and further facilitate the rapport-building process.
