Abstract: This article explores the nature ‘enforcement’ as a central aspect of the work of the probation service in England and Wales. It examines the link between the shift (from the 1990s until recently) towards enforcement-oriented practice and the perceived legitimacy of the service. It draws on studies that have examined the impact of tough enforcement policies on probation practitioners and offenders, and it described the factors that have now contributed to a shift towards a more responsive compliance-oriented strategy to enforcing community sanctions.
