Drawing on the sociology of the professions, this book offers an original and timely contribution to the criminal justice literature, examining the ways in which professionalism in probation has been reshaped and renegotiated in response to the market logic that has dominated public services in recent decades. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe case of the \u003cem\u003eTR\u003c\/em\u003e reforms offers a useful platform for exploring broader shifts in understandings of professionalism.
