This article examines the relationship between agencies and communities in issues of policing and probation.
Abstract
The police and probation services are agencies that have traditionally had close relations with the communities in which they work. Both agencies exhibit tensions in their relations with the community: in policing, in the relations between centralized targets and community needs, and in probation in the role of the community in the process of rehabilitation and desistance. The authors argue that these tensions mirror deeper contradictions within current urban and social policy concerning the role envisaged for community in the process of urban renewal.
