A new «knowledge» has emerged, known as «what works», which aims to use the «best available evidence-base» for planning and implementing effective interventions with offenders. Simultaneously, there has been an embracing of «punishment», as opposed to «welfarism», as the appropriate milieu of the probation service. When deconstructed these two features share some common elements, within which a hegemonic masculinist approach to crime control and offender management can be discerned. vV.53,n.4dDec. 2006pp.317-333tProbation JournalcLondon aPROBATION SERVICE GÉNERO PUNIÇÃO TECNOLOGIA aFARRANTbFinola jP.105
