The Life of a Probation Officer

An honest account of probation work, the people behind the case files, and the lessons learned along the way.

Jonathan Hussey

Author & criminal justice practitioner

My work in criminal justice has taken me from frontline probation to leading rehabilitation services and advising internationally on public safety. I write about the realities of practice, the complexity of change and the people behind the case files.

 

Alongside my own books, I share reading that connects ideas with everyday practice, offering fresh perspectives on justice, rehabilitation and what it means to be human.
