“…Indeed, emotional labour as a concept was first developed by Hochschild (1983) to critique profit-making businesses such as the airline industry which appropriated workers' emotions in order to turn a profit. Withstanding probation workers' commitment to the values of respect, non-judgemental attitudes and a belief in people's ability to change, a critical look at probation highlights its net-widening effect (Cohen, 1985), its pervasive nature (McNeill, 2018) as well as the pains inherent to being under supervision (Hayes, 2018). Thus, we should question whether, from an ethical perspective, the emotional labour inherent to probation work serves to perpetuate and mask the harms that arise from community sanctions.…”

This article uses the concept of emotional labour to explore how probation practitioners, conform to, and negotiate the display rules and values underpinning their work with clients.We consider the sources of emotional labour, focussing on the values of probation practice and how these are manifested through occupational, organisational and societal display rules. We then analyse a further layer of display rules; integrating, neutral and differentiating display rules which further inform our thinking about how emotional labour is performed.Using the lens of emotional labour we document the breadth of emotional labour performed by probation practitioners in their interactions with clients including the use of empathy, humour and the suppression of anger. In particular our research brings to light the display of so called 'negative' emotions such as anger and frustration, and the complex, and sometimes conflicting, relationship between occupational and organisational display rules and the values underpinning these rules.

“…In this study, we have also encountered some positive experiences or “gains” and “joys” in Hayes’s (2018) terms. Although they are part of the complexity of the lived experience, in this article, we focused more on the pains of reentry, as they were by far most prevalent in the ex-prisoner’s narrative.…”

Based on an ethnographic study with 58 participants released from a Romanian prison, this study revisits the pains of release and illustrates the complexity of the reentry process. Some of the pains of reentry seem universal while others seem to be context dependent. In the same time, some pains of release are personal, others social, while others are structural. Concepts of intersectionality and the multi-level model of reentry are discussed, and further suggestions for research are advanced.

“…Differences in duration are generally (and judicially) understood as differences in punishment severity (Raaijmakers, de Keijser, Nieuwbeerta, & Dirkzwager, 2017). This simple conceptualisation of punishment has been thoroughly challenged (Hayes, 2018a), with prison sociologists adding several subjective experiences to the ideal representations of punishment as duration and liberty deprivation (Sexton, 2015). These stretch from guilt over disrupted family bonds (Pogrebin & Dodge, 2001), pains of psychological assessments (Crewe, 2011) to experiences of disrespect and unfair treatment (Liebling, 2011).…”

This study examines and compares the effects on recidivism of the three most common legal responses to minor drug offences for adolescents in Norway. The essential question is whether alternative sanctions are more effective in preventing any reoffending in young people than the traditional fine. Using a longitudinal register data set, comprising all 15- to 17-year-old, first-time drug offenders in the 2000–2015 period (N = 3276), we investigate differences in duration between first legal decision and second arrest and the number of offences during follow-up. Our findings suggest that rehabilitative measures, in the form of a conditional waiver of prosecution with specified conditions, were more effective in preventing recidivism in adolescent drug offenders than a fine. Given the design of this sanction, which includes follow-up by social services and monitoring of drug use by health services, deferrals in recidivism may be caused by both positive rehabilitation experiences and negative punishment experiences.
