Pervasive Punishment
This book challenges the centrality of the prison in our understanding of punishment, inviting us to see, hear, imagine, analyse and restrain 'mass supervision'.

PROBATION WITHOUT A HOME
Following the Supreme Court’s decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson, national attention is being brought to discussions about the criminalization of homelessness and the experiences of homeless people in the criminal legal system. Community supervision (probation and parole) is an oftforgotten portion of the criminal justice system, despite there being nearly triple the number of people on parole or probation than the number of people incarcerated in the United States. Probation specifically is seen as an alternative to incarceration. Some view it as a more humane punishment than incarceration; others believe probation is far too lenient and sentenced too often. For homeless people, probation is often just a stepping stone to incarceration instead of a turn away from it. Using Illinois as a case study, this Comment demonstrates the way the criminalization of homelessness makes probation especially difficult for those without housing to successfully complete.
There are over 470,000 people on probation in Illinois, compared to just over 27,000 in the Illinois prison population. Illinois does not keep statistics about the number of probationers experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity, so studying the exact impact of homelessness on probation in Illinois is difficult. Studies from other areas of the country show that people who are facing housing insecurity are 36% more likely to unsuccessfully complete probation. Several general probation requirements are difficult for homeless people to follow. Requirements such as reporting to parole officers, avoiding interactions with law enforcement, not associating with convicted felons, and regularly appearing for court dates present unique problems for people without homes.
To help alleviate the inequalities within the system, probation departments should begin collecting data on the housing status of probationers, create dedicated homeless programs within probation offices, work on inter-agency and resource collaboration for homeless services, end incarceration for probation violations, and invest in permanent supportive housing.

Rehabilitation and probation in England and Wales, 1876-1962
\"Rehabilitation and Probation in England and Wales, 1900-1950 draws on a wide range of archive material to describe the arrival of a modern probation service. Focusing on the first half of the twentieth century, it describes the debates, conflicts and compromises that resulted in the creation of a state sponsored, centrally controlled, professional, secular, social work and psychological based agency. Following a chronological structure, Ray Gard explores the arrival of the so-called period of 'penal optimism', showing how rehabilitation arrived in the courts of England and Wales. The book uses archive and original material to give voice to those devising and implementing policy, revealing an uneven path to a modern probation system\"-- Provided by publisher.

Probation as a Necessity in the Republic of North Macedonia
As a result of the shortcomings that accompany the enforcement of institutional measures and sanctions on perpetrators of criminal offences, a system of community-based sanctions and measures has emerged. These are intended to relieve the criminal and penal system, maximize the principle of individualization, improve the reintegration of offenders into society, reduce recidivism, and protect society. The organizational units that implement such measures and sanctions are known as probation services. This paper analyses international standards, the emergence and development of probation, a comparative analysis, and the establishment of probation under the Law on Probation in the Republic of North Macedonia, as well as perspectives for the full and effective functioning of the probation service. The probation service is a special organizational unit formed within the Administration for the Execution of Sanctions under the Ministry of Justice. The probation service is tasked with implementing community-based penalties, including measures such as suspended sentences under supervision, community work, and home confinement. It also follows the enforcement of conditional release decisions issued by the courts. Through its activities, the service assists offenders in their social reintegration and rehabilitation, contributing to public safety and the reduction of the prison population. In addition, the service prepares assessments of the risk level of defendants during ongoing criminal cases and provides the court with recommendations regarding the appropriate form of sanction.
