For Better or Worse? Improving the Response to Domestic Abuse Offenders on Probation
£0.00
Renehan and Gadd (2024)
This article reflects on what can be learned from the Building Better Relationships (BRR) accredited domestic abuse programme in England and Wales. The ethnographic findings from a study of BBR are found within the Probation Inspectorate’s recent inspection of domestic abuse work, within the newly unified Probation Service. The authors found a fractured and overstretched workforce. They stress that if the system is to be made better and not worse, domestic abuse programme practitioners must be given the time, supervision and skills needed to maintain a therapeutic alliance, that will endure not only in moments of crisis in their clients’ lives but in the practitioners’ lives as well.
