📣📣Please repost this research opportunity📣📣 We are currently carrying out some probation-related research on emotional labour, staff wellbeing and SEEDS2 in probation and have a survey currently live. 1/4
Today we published issue 33 of Probation Quarterly. This is my final issue as editor - thank you to all contributors over the last three years. This issue includes articles on building capacity in probation, mental health provision, the evidence underpinning RNR, values & more!

Just published by @MoJGovUK 'Process evaluation of the Newham Y2A Hub' led by myself and @JenniWard5 with colleagues from @SHULawCrim and @MiddlesexUni. The Hub adopted a multi-disciplinary, co-located model to work with young adults on probation. gov.uk/government/pub…
Really looking forward to getting started on this and working with @matt_tidmarsh the recent government announcement on expanding the number of trainees, hopefully makes this research timely.

📣 Job Alert - Assoc Prof of #CriminalJustice / #Criminology 📣 We @CCJSLeeds are seeking candidates for this senior role (deadline: 22nd Sept). Check details below & get in touch if interested to join our excellent criminology team: jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r…
Commitment to recruit 1000 new Probation Officers will not quickly make a very challenging job more attractive. Rewarding these hardworking professionals would help, also reducing short term sentences and better use of community sentences supported in communities.
In the latest PQ, @matt_tidmarsh from @UniversityLeeds explores why probation is a feminised profession. buff.ly/2UHtEg4 #probation
In amongst loads of great contributions, I have a couple of pieces in the latest Probation Quarterly. The first speculates on why probation is ‘feminised’; the second is part of a broader commentary on the probation ‘reset’
