In this episode of The Criminologist Podcast, we sit down with Annie Stocksdale, a forward thinking probation officer who is redefining how high risk supervision can empower clients toward lasting change.  Annie shares her innovative approach to managing high-risk clients, demonstrating that even within the boundaries of home confinement, there is potential for growth and rehabilitation. By fostering empathy and focusing on her client's long term transformation, Annie exemplifies the type of leadership needed to move Corrections into the 21st century. 

Annie also highlights  her experience at the recent American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) Training Institute in Indianapolis.  She reflects on how meeting fellow professionals from across the country and around the world inspired her work and helped her adopt new methods for effective supervision.

We also dive into Annie's personal project-her Daily Gratitude Journal.  The journal is now available on Amazon, and we encourage you to check it out!
