These five-minute videos are aimed at all those interested in the key lessons from probation and youth justice research studies. Reflecting upon their work, leading academics set out their top pieces of advice for the delivery of high-quality probation and/or youth justice services.
The videos help to provide a rounded view of the evidence base, assisting with informed debate and aiding understanding of what helps and what hinders service delivery.
(The views expressed in each of the videos do not necessarily reflect the policy position of HM Inspectorate of Probation. Disclaimer: an external platform has been used to host these videos. Recommendations for further viewing may appear at the end of the videos and are beyond our control.)
