HMP Downview, Madeline.Petrillo{at}hmps.gsi.gov.uk

This article examines how female probation officers working with high risk offenders experience gender in their work. The research, conducted in 2006 with female probation officers in London, reveals the ways in which the officers perceive gender to feature in their work with high risk men, how they use gender to inform their practice and the nature of personal impact of this work.

Key Words: gender • female Probation Officers • high risk offenders • probation practice • sexual offenders • violent offenders
