BETWEEN PUNISHMENT AND REHABILITATION: HOW PROBATION OFFICERS BUILD THEIR PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY: A Comparative Study of Restorative Justice, ... and Penal Culture in Post-Communist Europe - Couverture souple
Synopsis
How does a new profession come into being? What happens when justice moves beyond prison walls and into the community? This book offers a compelling, research-based answer, taking the reader inside the world of probation counsellors — the professionals who supervise, guide, and support people serving non-custodial sentences.
Combining rigorous qualitative research with revealing quantitative survey data, the volume provides the first in-depth comparative analysis of the probation systems of Romania and the Republic of Moldova, two neighbouring countries that built their probation services from the ground up after the fall of communism. Drawing on interviews with probation counsellors, magistrates, and beneficiaries, as well as on public opinion surveys concerning custodial and non-custodial sanctions, the book explores:
- The birth of a profession — how the role of the probation counsellor was socially constructed at the intersection of social work, law, and psychology;
- Justice paradigms in transition — retributive, utilitarian, human rights-oriented, and restorative approaches to punishment, and how they shape everyday probation practice;
- The counsellor–beneficiary relationship — supervision, counselling, and the therapeutic alliance that makes desistance from crime possible;
- Public attitudes toward punishment — original comparative survey findings on how Romanians and Moldovans perceive prison, suspended sentences, community service, and the utility of alternative sanctions;
- Inter-institutional cooperation — the complex relationships between probation services, courts, prosecutors, penitentiaries, police, and the community;
- Ethical dilemmas and professional identity — the values, tensions, and practical wisdom that define frontline probation work.
Written at the crossroads of sociology, criminology, social work, and socio-legal studies, this book speaks to a wide audience: researchers and university students in the social sciences and law; probation officers, social workers, and criminal justice practitioners; policy makers involved in penal reform; and any reader interested in restorative justice, offender rehabilitation, criminal justice reform in Eastern Europe, and the human side of punishment.
More than an academic study, this is a book about second chances — about how societies choose to punish, and how they can choose, instead, to reintegrate. It documents a paradigm shift away from a prison-centric penal culture toward a justice rooted in community, responsibility, and human dignity.
Part of the Social Development collection, the volume stands as an essential reference for understanding alternative sanctions and community justice in post-communist Europe, offering original empirical data available in English for the first time.

Between Punishment and Rehabilitation (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Who is the probation officer: an agent of state control, or a helping professional working toward reintegration? In post-communist Europe that question has no settled answer - and the way practitioners themselves answer it shapes the fate of thousands of people serving non-custodial sentences.Drawing on years of qualitative and quantitative fieldwork in North-Eastern Romania and the Republic of Moldova, Antonio Sandu examines how probation officers build their professional identity at the intersection of two competing paradigms: retributive justice, centred on punishment, surveillance and desert; and restorative justice, centred on repairing harm, victim-offender mediation and the restoration of social equilibrium.INSIDE THIS BOOKBased on in-depth interviews, focus groups and survey research with probation officers, beneficiaries and allied professionals, the study maps five thematic axes of professional identity: - The normative and institutional framework of probation practice - Human resources development, professional socialisation and occupational dilemmas - The probation officer-supervised person relationship, from case management to therapeutic alliance - Value-centred probation: constitutive and operational values in practice - Victim-offender mediation and the restorative justice paradigmA parallel quantitative study on retributiveness and public perception of non-custodial sanctions shows how limited public knowledge of probation services fuels punitive attitudes - and how that pressure reaches back into daily professional practice, into courtroom expectations and into the political appetite for alternatives to imprisonment. The book closes with a theoretical model of the social construction of probation, concrete public policy proposals, and an assessment of training needs for practitioners in both countries.WHY IT MATTERSProbation systems are path-dependent: they carry the institutional history of the societies that built them. Romania and Moldova established their services in the shadow of a prisonocentric penal culture, importing Western models into very different institutional soil. This book explains what happens when those models land - why identical legislation produces divergent practice, why professional terminology shapes professional identity, and why reform imposed by administrative mandate so often undermines the practitioners it is meant to support. Comparative empirical work on probation in this region remains rare in English-language criminology; this volume brings two neighbouring systems, shaped by a shared past and separated by divergent European trajectories, into direct dialogue.WRITTEN FORCriminologists, penologists and sociologists of law; social workers, psychologists and probation practitioners; policy makers and public administration specialists engaged in criminal justice reform; and graduate students in criminology, social work, public policy and restorative justice.Grounded in social constructionism, communicative action theory and appreciative inquiry, and supported by a full bibliography, interview guides and research instruments, this volume offers both a rigorous empirical contribution to comparative criminology and a practical resource for anyone shaping the future of community sanctions in Central and Eastern Europe.Antonio Sandu is Professor at "Stefan cel Mare" University of Suceava and doctoral supervisor at the University of Oradea, Romania. He is the author of more than 20 volumes and 150 scholarly papers in ethics, social work, social philosophy and law. This item is printed on demand.
