Ph.D. Title: The Rehabilitative Ideal in the Probation Service
I originally graduated in languages before working in various roles in the criminal justice system. I left the front-line to do a Master's in Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Edinburgh and then moved to Cambridge to begin my Ph.D. under the supervision of Loraine Gelsthorpe.
Through my Ph.D. I am looking at the Probation Service in the context of recent policy changes, focussing on practitioner's use of, or opinions towards, rehabilitation, discretion, compliance, managerialism and risk management. The Ph.D. uses a mix of ethnographic work in a probation office, semi-structured interviews with staff and analysis of policy documents and political rhetoric.
