Mapping the interface between contemporary risk-focused policy and frontline enforcement practice
Mapping the interface between contemporary risk-focused policy and frontline enforcement practice
To develop an empirical account of the impact of contemporary penal developments on frontline probation practice in England and Wales, this article will draw on a study that examined how the interrelated discourses of 'risk management' and public protection' pervading probation policy in England and Wales are translated in enforcement practice. The study found a degree to resistance to the prevailing risk-focused policy agenda. Frontline probation practitioners reported that they tended to rely mainly on a compliance-oriented enforcement model underpinned by welfarist ideals reminiscent of penal modernism1.

Abstract
To develop an empirical account of the impact of contemporary penal developments on frontline probation practice in England and Wales, this article will draw on a study that examined how the interrelated discourses of 'risk management' and public protection' pervading probation policy in England and Wales are translated in enforcement practice. The study found a degree to resistance to the prevailing risk-focused policy agenda. Frontline probation practitioners reported that they tended to rely mainly on a compliance-oriented enforcement model underpinned by welfarist ideals reminiscent of penal modernism1.
