Why study offender management? Peter Raynor Maurice Vanstone Swansea University April 2009

Until 1990s: not proper criminology Research on probation was done by ‘administrative criminologists’ (Martin Davies, RDS – though what about Radzinowicz, Wilkins?) or by social workers Mainstream criminologists (after Martinson 1974 and Brody 1976) thought ‘nothing worked’ (this suited libertarians, ‘just deserts’ theorists and right-wing welfare- cutters) Do-gooders were not cool - social workers were labellers, deviancy amplifiers etc.

Some convergence in 1990s – why? Probation training and therefore research separated from social work in mid-90s The ‘nothing works’ consensus weakened Some key criminologists showed interest (e.g. Tony Bottoms) Offender management research improved Mainstream criminologists followed the CRP money in 1999

Good reasons for doing OM research: Social purpose: with 83,000 in prison, the penal system costing £4,111m in 2008 (over half on prisons) and a recession coming... what can be achieved? Contributions to criminology: applied research allows reality tests of interesting theories in use: do they help us understand what we see?

For example: What is sentencing for? ‘Ought’ implies ‘can’: what outcomes are achieved/achievable in rehabilitation? What makes authorities legitimate and able to secure consent or compliance with minimum coercion? (Why does anyone co- operate with a community sentence?) How in practice does ethnic or gender discrimination happen?

And more broadly: What is the balance of structure and agency in becoming, remaining or ceasing to be an offender? Are Zamble and Quinsey right, or Maruna’s narrative theories? Zamble and Quinsey (1997) on The Criminal Recidivism Process: released prisoners face obstacles > negative affect > pessimism about non- offending solutions > re-offending Maruna (2000) Making Good: recidivist narratives are about being a victim of circumstances; narratives of desistance are about autonomy and self-determination

Zamble and Quinsey on structure and agency ‘ In the case of criminal behaviour, factors in the social environment seem influential determinants of initial delinquency for a substantial proportion of offenders... but habitual offending is better predicted by looking at an individual’s acquired ways of reacting to common situations’ (Zamble and Quinsey 1997)

Even more broadly: The fluidity of the concept of crime: restorative justice redefines crime as dispute diversion of offences away from formal processing (or to lower tariff outcomes) redefines crime as a problem looking for a solution rather than a punishment (examples of both occur in recent Jersey research)

Effectiveness. (Probation Orders closed 2004.) 81% of medium to high risk Probationers reduced their risk of re-offending (measured by LSI-R). 51% of highest risk Probationers showed a reduction in their risk of re-offending. Each year over 10,000 hours of Community Service performed for the Island.

Jersey Probation skills study So what really happens in individual sessions between Probation staff and the people they work with? Do skilled probation officers make a difference?

Influences: Core correctional practices (Dowden and Andrews’ 2004 meta-analysis) Effective use of authority (‘firm but fair’, reinforce compliance, avoid domination) Pro-social modelling Problem-solving (helping offender to acquire problem-solving skills) Link to community resources (advocacy and brokerage) Relationship factors (open, warm, enthusiastic, mutual respect, therapeutic alliance) (Source: IJOTCC 48 [2])

Other influences Legitimacy: clarity about rules and roles; treating people fairly; respect; paying attention Desistance: individualization; consistency through ‘zig-zag’ process; supporting motivation; building social capital Consumers (and psychotherapy literature): listening, understanding, respect, caring, trust, somebody you can talk to CCP findings were based on retrospective meta- analysis: we wanted a prospective study in a real- life setting, with outcome data routinely available
