Probation in Europe book

No data was found

The idea of describing the probation systems around Europe is not something new. The first attempt was the book ‘Probation in Europe’ written by Thomas William Trought and published in 1927 (Trought, 1927). The book mainly dealt with questions about what probation is and how it can be defined. This book is now available on the CEP website, together with other ‘Probation in Europe’ publications.
