This systematic literature review describes what is known about the effectiveness of practices in probation supervision. Effectiveness is defined as: contributing to a reduction in recidivism, better functioning of clients in various areas, or prevention of non-compliance and drop-out. Based on a systematic research of Dutch and foreign literature, 141 articles and reports were selected and analysed

Little research exists on what works in the supervision of offenders with debt problems. This qualitative study aims to provide insight into the barriers probation officers and clients experience during supervision regarding debt and the support that clients need. Interviews were conducted with 33 Dutch probation officers and 16 clients. The results show that debt often negatively influences clients’ lives and hinders their resocialization. Probation officers lack effective methods to support clients with debt problems. To adequately help clients with debt problems, probation officers should obtain more knowledge about effective interventions and collaborate more closely with debt specialists from the probation supervision outset.

On May 16th 2007 CESRT, Hogeschool Zuyd, took the initiative to organise an expert meeting on the subject of “Supervision in de Bachelor and the Master Social Work in Europe”. A group of supervision experts spent a whole day brainstorming and discussing supervision as a teaching method for practical training and professional development, “the state of the art” in Europe, and recent developments in the field. The expert meeting lead to the launching of a network for supervisors involved in Bachelor and Master (BaMa) Social Work programmes in Europe. The prime objective of the network is to exchange experiences and knowledge and furthermore to contribute to the development of supervision theory and practice in the BaMa Social Work. This report examines the reasoning and motivation on the subject. It provides a summary of the main themes, perspectives and a list of participants.

In 2017, renowned Prof Kate Raworth from Oxford University and Amsterdam University introduced Doughnut Economics, an economic model to enable humans to thrive within the planetary boundaries and resources. Several private and public actors, including the city of Amsterdam, adopted the model in their circular economy development's strategies. Doughnut-Architecture aims to develop further the AREA (Atelier for Resilient Environmental Architecture) Framework, a tool designed by graduating students Charlotte Uiterwaal, Isabella van der Griend, Ryan McGaffney, Karolina Bäckman, at the faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology (TU-Delft), under the supervision of Henri van Bennekom. AREA-Framework support architects to intervene in the built environment taking as a reference the Doughnut Economics model. The AREA-Framework is at an initial stage, and its categories and subcategories are only qualitative. TU-Delft, the architectural practices Space&Matter and SuperuseStudios, in collaboration with the interdepartmental research group Circular Built Environment Hub (CBEH) and architectural practices from the network of 400 construction companies belonging to the Ex'tax project, the advice from Kate Raworth and the Amsterdam-Donut-Coalitie will further develop the AREA-Framework primarily quantitatively and also qualitatively. TU-Delft, Space&Matter, SuperuseStudios, other architectural practices from the Ex'tax-network will test the framework on different phases of real projects, interdepartmental research and education. The ultimate goal is to develop the framework further, to increase the number of architectural practices successfully implementing the Doughnut Economics in the built environment at a national level. The framework will contribute to positioning the architectural practices concerning Doughnut Economics and the Circular Economy. The project results are firstly an online open-access publication about the further developed Framework to be applied by architects; secondly, the preparation and submission of a follow-up research proposal about the extended development and implementation of the Framework applicable to the built environment by all the Ex'tax construction sector companies.
In dit onderzoek brachten we actuele kennis in kaart over effectief reclasseringstoezicht.Doel Doel van het project was om een systematisch overzicht te maken van werkzame elementen voor reclasseringstoezicht. Dit zijn elementen die aantoonbaar bijdragen aan het verminderen van recidive, voorkomen van uitval, versterken van motivatie voor verandering en verbeteren van het functioneren van delinquenten op verschillende leefgebieden. Resultaten Een onderzoeksrapportage met een overzicht van werkzame elementen voor reclasseringstoezicht. Een Engelse versie van de onderzoeksrapportage: Effective practices in probation supervision: a systematic literature review. Een publieksversie van het onderzoeksrapport waarin de belangrijkste bevindingen zijn samengevat. Een artikel voor een wetenschappelijk tijdschrift (in ontwikkeling). Looptijd 01 oktober 2019 - 31 augustus 2020 Aanpak Er is in de afgelopen jaren veel onderzoek gedaan naar reclasseringstoezicht, in Nederland maar vooral ook in het buitenland. Onderzoekers voerden een systematisch literatuuronderzoek uit van de nationale en internationale onderzoeksliteratuur over reclasseringstoezicht vanaf het jaar 2000 en beoordeelden hoe onderbouwd de conclusies zijn. Relevantie voor werkveld en onderwijs Het overzicht van bewezen werkzame elementen voor toezicht op delinquenten is bijzonder nuttig, voor het werkveld en voor hbo-opleidingen die toekomstige forensisch sociale professionals opleiden. Het kan richting geven aan deskundigheidsbevordering, aan beleidsontwikkeling van de reclassering, en ondersteunt keuzes die reclasseringswerkers dagelijks moeten maken in hun begeleidingscontacten met reclasseringscliënten.
In this project, immersive media (XR, VR, AR) are created and tested as a remediation strategy to help improve the experience of existing TV content and reach and engage both new and existing target groups more effectively. In this project, students and alumni from AGM and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) work together under the supervision of the R&D department from the professorship Digital Media Concepts and QUT to develop innovative immersive media products based on existing TV productions from Banijay. Banijay is the largest independent production and distribution company in the world. Banijay will provide the challenges, content and feedback on the students’ progress and skills during the (VIS) project, and will offer the opportunity to work on existing international productions with real expectations and demands, and the opportunity to actually market the concepts the students develop. Several new concepts are now in production stage to be released and tested.
