Resumo

This article, the second of two which deal with the current style of research into the outcomes of probation supervision, demonstrates, by way of two case studies, the sort of research which the author believes those working in this field should move towards. The data drawn upon come from a recently completed longitudinal investigation of probation supervision and its impact upon the subsequent offending careers of 199 male and female probationers aged 17-35. The sample—spread across six English probation services (as they then were)—was representative of national caseloads in terms of their age, gender, ethnicity and conviction history. The first article was published in volume three, issue two of this same journal.
