This article reviews two different studies in England and Ireland which utilized an innovative technique, Photovoice, to foreground the experiences of probationers on their journey towards desistance. The difficulties they face such as stigma, social judgement and exclusion are explored as well as their need for emotional calm, and support and understanding from their supervisors and the wider community. Photovoice as a methodological and creative tool is revealed as a novel and expressive means to develop insight into probation supervision and an effective technique for undertaking cross-national research which can communicate across cultural boundaries. Keywords Community, Desistance, England, Ireland, Photovoice, Probation The use of probation supervision in Europe has expanded rapidly over the past 30 years (McNeill and Beyens, 2013) but little is known about the experience of supervision - particularly from the perspective of those subject to it. The topic is now garnering schol- arly attention and this article aims to contribute to the emerging literature in this field by Corresponding author: Wendy Fitzgibbon, Reader in Criminology, Department of Criminology, University of Leicester, 154 Upper New Walk, Leicester, LE I 7QA, UK.
