ABSTRACT:

The purpose of the research is to identify the ideological and the axiological perspectives that underlie the process of social construction of the probation practice. The research targets the Probation Services in N-E Romania, aiming at the ways in which the theoretical-ideological perspectives that underlie practice become constituents of the discourse of probation counsellors. The research was based on the exploratory qualitative analysis of the discourse of probation counsellors and other specialists involved in implementing probation, the research being based on an inductive methodology of Grounded Theory. The results lead to the construction of a model of probation that integrates restorative elements with the restitutive ones, but also with elements of utilitarian justice, or centred on humanistic values.

KEYWORDS:
