Latest News

This page brings together recent news, reports, articles, and commentary relevant to probation, rehabilitation, and community justice.

 

Latest news

The content includes both Probation Institute updates and selected external publications, chosen to support professional awareness, learning, and informed debate.

Items listed here do not necessarily represent formal positions of the Probation Institute, these are set out separately in our Position Papers, but reflect developments and discussions shaping the field.  

The News page is updated regularly to reflect developments across probation, rehabilitation, research, and practice.
