Probation has an uneven level of development across Europe, systems with a history going back 200 years and systems recently established. In the end the ultimate purpose is similar – giving back better citizens to the society and enforcement of the court decisions by using the experience, the energy of a fresh start, the staff skills and the new technologies. Under this workshop will be analyzed the impact of the European professional networks on the development of the probation services, with a focus on the professionalization of the staff and the role of technology.
