Anti-Racist Probation Practice
Introduction
The probation service has committed itself to anti-racist initiatives and those promoting equal opportunities for some time. However, the experiences of black people, whether as workers or clients indicates that the realities of day-to-day practice are far removed from this.
The Current Situation
Moreover, the picture is just as bleak if not even more so in other parts of the criminal justice system including the judiciary and the prison service.
Addressing the Conundrum
Anti-Racist Probation Practice addresses this conundrum and drawing on the experiences of black people makes practical proposals for moving forward in non-tokenistic ways. These include core areas of practice, for example court reports monitoring systems; resource allocation; and working relations.
Call to Action
Arguing that process, procedures and outcomes in the work done must be taken together if individual, institutional and cultural racism are to be eradicated, the book shows that anti-racist probation practice must be taken seriously by both black and white people if it is to materialise.
