Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Missing Story: The Battle for Probation's Public Image with Stephen Pitts & Imants Mozers — Part One
Q: How can probation communications be more effective without oversimplifying or misrepresenting the work?
Communications should humanize the work through lived experiences, tell truthful, sometimes imperfect stories, and align messaging with what communities care about—safer, more prosperous societies—while avoiding the idea that probation is merely an alternative to prison.
The Missing Story: The Battle for Probation's Public Image with Stephen Pitts & Imants Mozers — Part One
Q: What is the missing story of probation and why does it matter to public understanding?
The missing story is the gap between the complex, on-the-ground work probation does and how the public perceives it; closing this gap improves legitimacy, funding, and support for rehabilitation.
What Story Is Probation Telling? Pitts and Mozers, Part Two
Q: Looking ahead, what gives you hope about the future of probation?
Global collaboration through World Congresses and regional networks, continuous professional development, and a clearer internal and external narrative that centers humanity and public safety alike.
What Story Is Probation Telling? Pitts and Mozers, Part Two
Q: What will listeners experience at probationfutures.com and what can they expect from the book discussions?
They'll find a hub for accessing the book, supporting materials, and podcast recordings with additional discussions featuring leading minds in probation and parole.
What Story Is Probation Telling? Pitts and Mozers, Part Two
Q: What can practitioners start doing to change the narrative and strengthen legitimacy?
Treat leadership as a collective effort, engage practitioners visibly in shaping a shared narrative, empower those with lived experience, and build alliances across the organization so that communication is proactive and inclusive.
