Imperfect: The Life of a Probation Officer

di Jonathan Hussey (Autore)

Hawksmoor Publishing, 2025

In Imperfect, Jonathan Hussey - author of Reoffending and the Probation Workbook series - offers a compelling and unflinching memoir of his two decades working within the Criminal Justice System. Spanning his early years in adult probation to his time in youth justice and through the turbulent rollout of Transforming Rehabilitation, Jonathan reflects on the wide range of individuals he has worked with - from repeat offenders and sex offenders to young people on the cusp of change. With honesty and insight, he explores not just the professional challenges but the emotional toll the job can take if not managed correctly, pulling back the curtain on the mental health pressures that working in probation can bring about. Imperfect is more than a personal story - it's a reflective, eye-opening guide for those considering a career in probation, current practitioners navigating a complex system, or anyone drawn to the realities behind one of society's most demanding and misunderstood public service roles. Blending personal narrative with professional reflection, Jonathan captures both the frustrations and the redemptive power of working with complex individuals. Thought-provoking, honest, and deeply human, Imperfect is essential reading for anyone interested in probation careers, offender rehabilitation, criminal justice in general, or the personal impact of frontline public service work.
