Fernando, R. orcid.org/0000-0002-4346-2200 (2021) Desistance from crime and probation supervision: Comparing experiences of English and French probationers. Probation Journal, 68 (2). pp. 224-242. ISSN 0264-5505
Abstract
This research compares how English and French desisters experience and perceive probation supervision. In this qualitative study, desisters of both countries were interviewed to collect narratives of change within the context of punishment in the community. The aim of this research was to explore and compare the role of probation in desistance processes, in different national, socio-economic, and criminal justice settings. The findings demonstrate similarities in perceptions of probation officers as people with resources. Differences emerged in the types of resources engaged with and the perceived punitiveness of mandatory supervision.
