Authors:Jan Tomášek, Lucie Háková, Eva Krulichová First page: 87 Abstract: European Journal of Probation, Ahead of Print. Previous research on non-custodial sentences has pointed to the association between awareness of alternatives to prison and public opinion on these alternative measures. Using data from a public opinion survey conducted in the Czech Republic in 2018, the main objective of this study is to examine the extent to which public opinion on probation is influenced by awareness of probation service and support for probation in general. The data suggest that those generally in favour of probation, unlike those opposed, agree with this measure being imposed on a wider range of offenders, are more lenient towards offenders who violate the conditions of their probation, and perceive probation as being beneficial to the criminal justice system and society as a whole. On the other hand, the public’s awareness of the probation service per se seems not to be as important as whether or not the basic principles of probation are embraced.

Authors:Matt Cracknell First page: 109 Abstract: European Journal of Probation, Ahead of Print. This article explores the impacts that the addition of individuals serving short sentences has had on daily practice and working culture for probation workers. These practitioner perspectives are explored through the lens of ‘mass supervision’, providing a new insight into the harms and implications for its inherent deskilling qualities and constraints. This empirical research underlines three main themes related to the harms caused by mass supervision: firstly, that it inhibits innovative practice; secondly, that it necessitates a more limited model of supervision that undermines practitioner autonomy and the reach and scope of the supervisory relationship; and thirdly, that mass supervision corrodes the values of probation staff, leaving many experienced practitioners struggling ethically, practically and emotionally. The experience of mass supervision is compared to a treadmill by several practitioners and employed as a metaphor to analyse practice in the confines of mass supervision as generic, monotonous and relentless.

Authors:Simonas Nikartas, Liubovė Jarutienė First page: 128 Abstract: European Journal of Probation, Ahead of Print. Based on an empirical quantitative study, the paper examines the sentencing trends and individualisation of probation conditions in domestic violence cases. The study sample included 577 Lithuanian court verdicts for moderate bodily injury in a domestic setting between 2015 and 2019. The study results suggest that the length of the probation period imposed by the courts may depend on the offender’s conviction history but is not related to the offender’s socio-demographic characteristics and the mitigating or aggravating circumstances. Such characteristics as employment and marital status, mitigating and aggravating circumstances may relate to the type of sentence decisions. The study revealed a discrepancy between the main characteristics of the offender and the nature of probation conditions imposed by courts. Based on study results, the authors of this paper presume that Lithuanian sentencing practice lacks evidence-based individualisation of probation conditions.

Authors:Martine Herzog-Evans, John Sturgeon First page: 148 Abstract: European Journal of Probation, Ahead of Print. The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted lives across the globe and nations were suddenly forced to adapt in conditions that were unprecedented, uncertain and life-threatening. Nations responded by closing borders and ordering their citizens to work from home, forcing organisations and those working in them to find new ways of carrying out their core functions in conditions of disorientation, isolation, competing demands and in some cases, fear. The extent to which organisations were able to negotiate the crisis would depend on how their managers responded to their staff. This study draws on an analysis of semi-structured interviews with 26 Scottish Criminal Justice Social Workers and managers which took place during the national lockdown of March–June 2020. Drawing on theories of leadership and self-determination theory, the findings reveal that good managers at such a time of crisis are servant leaders who prioritise the fundamental human needs of their staff and reduce their level of uncertainty.
