| Abstract: |
This paper presents the findings of a study that explored how practitioners and service users define the mechanisms of compliance. The study sought to develop insights into the most effective strategies for encouraging compliance with community-based orders. Utilising grounded theory methodology; the study generated observational, documentary and qualitative interview data from probation officers and probationers in Wales and from probation practitioners based in the Jersey Probation and Aftercare Service. The participating practitioners identified contingency-based and relational strategies as the key strategies that motivate compliance, whilst the participating probationers cited mainly instrumental reasons for compliance. The paper discusses the implications of the study’s findings. It also highlights the evidence-based skills and practices that have been linked to effective service user engagement. The paper concludes with a discussion of the policy developments that might affect the effective implementation of evidence-based compliance strategies. Dr Pamela Ugwudike |
