“…54% felt helped concerning drug problems; 47% concerning their work situation; 46% concerning leisure time activities; 44% concerning social and family relationships; and 31% concerning housing. These research findings support the conclusion that alternative measures contribute to the social capital [16].…”

“…In a Danish study persons with a suspended sentence or a parole were asked for their attitudes in a survey. Only 8% of the respondents said that they were averse to the follow-up period, 16% was indifferent, 33% found positive as well as negative elements in the follow-up period and 43% said to have positive attitudes towards the sanction/measure (Kyvsgaard 2000). Only a minority thus had a pronounced negative attitude towards the alternative sanctioning.…”

Different judicial alternative sanctions and measures exist on the three levels of the criminal justice system. These alternative sanctions and measures can be applied to a specific target group, namely drug users. The current study is a qualitative assessment of the application and execution of alternative measures and sanctions for drug users, based on semi-structured face-to-face interviews in which stakeholders (magistrates, judicial assistants and social workers) and drug users were asked for their attitudes towards these sanctions and the factors that influence them in their convictions and beliefs. In conclusion we can state that the interviews have increased the insight in the attitudes of decision makers, social assistants, judicial assistants and drug users towards alternative sanctioning. From the interviews we learn that there are strong similarities between the three profiles, which provide for a strong basis for the continued functioning of alternative sanctioning.

“…Overall, the 1960s witnessed many significant changes in ways of thinking that conditioned how ‘probation work’ was defined (cf. Kyvsgaard, 2000; Lahti, 2000; Lappi-Seppälä, 2012). The rise of a new social policy doctrine, establishing systems of national planning and universal social benefits, reflected the welfare state utopia that believed ‘society’ could be guided and directed in a predetermined and strategic manner.…”

“…The old doctrine, which is usually referred to by the headline of Robert Martinson’s article ‘Nothing works’ (Martinson, 1974), was abandoned, and probation work accepted the new slogan ‘What works’ and its presumptions (Kyyvsgaard, 2000; Merrington and Stanley, 2004; Newman and Nutley, 2003; Raynor, 2003). This new paradigm could be characterized as a criminal policy movement, born as a rehabilitative backlash against the harshening of criminal policy in North America.…”

The article addresses key changes in Finnish probation work's rationalities, mentalities and technologies from the 1960s to the present, examining them within a wider governance theory framework. The article asks how the following aspects of probation work have changed: (1) the conditions of probation work, (2) its institutional selfunderstanding, (3) its work methods and (4) its objectives. The thesis is that these changes have been connected to several synchronous and multi-layered developments, such as globalization, a re-orientation of Finnish social policy and the introduction of new methods and tools within probation work.
