'Grace under Pressure: The Role of Courage in the Future of Probation Work': Anne Worrall
Update: 2015-06-24
Description
Anne Worrall qualified as a probation officer in 1972 and worked in Stoke on Trent for nearly ten years before taking up the post of Lecturer in Social Work, first at Manchester University and later at Keele University, being responsible for the Home Office funded probation stream of the CQSW and DipSW programmes at both institutions. In 1993 she moved to the Department of Criminology at Keele and became Professor of Criminology in 2003. She retired from full-time work in 2009 but continues to carry out research on a part-time basis.
Anne was a member of the Board of Visitors (now Independent Monitoring Board) at Drake Hall women's prison for ten years and a member of the Parole Board of England and Wales from 2001 to 2007. She has held honorary teaching and research posts at the University of Western Australia in Perth for the past 15 years. She has two overlapping research interests. Her PhD thesis and subsequent book Offending Women (1990), were concerned with female offenders' experiences of the criminal justice system.
Anne has collaborated with Pat Carlen on a number of research projects and publications relating to women in prison. Anne has also written widely about the politics and practices of the Probation Service, including Punishment in the Community (1997 and 2005 with Clare Hoy). More recently, she has worked with Rob Mawby, first evaluating Prolific Offender Projects and then researching the occupational cultures of probation workers (ESRC funded), leading to Doing Probation Work (2013).
Anne's most recent research has been an evaluation of North Staffordshire Integrated Offender Management programme undertaken with Mary Corcoran.
