A day in the life of a probation officer from Japan

Hello from Japan. I would like to introduce a day in the life of a probation officer in East Asia, a bit far from Europe. My name is Yuho Furukawa. I am currently working at UNAFEI, but from 2009 to last year I was a probation officer at a local probation office. There are several ways to become a probation officer in Japan, and the office attracts people from a wide range of fields, including specialists in the fields of law, psychology, welfare and sociology. I majored in psychology at university.

A day in the life of a probation officer from Romania

Hello! We are Raluca, Dalina and Sabrina. We graduated from the same university, are the same age and were employed at the same time by the same probation service. Our enthusiasm and the fact that we face the same challenges are what connected us. The tasks at Arad Probation Service are the same as those of other Probation Services, and yet, our work days and cases aren’t the same.

A day in the Life of Probation Officer from Malta during Covid 19

Nothing can alter my perception that working as a Probation Officer makes a person unique and interesting but it also brings a lot of stress. This job is very various which at times can take its toll on us. Our main task is to deal with offenders who are given another opportunity in the community to change their lives. Some of them do, others progress is slow, and some is nothing at all.
