contents No Choice But to Leave’: Understanding Voluntary Resignations Amongst Probation Staff in England and Wales Laura Haggar Michelle McDermott The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice ABSTRACT Probation staff attrition in England and Wales has been a cause for concern, yet there is limited research exploring why probation staff choose to leave. Utilising Walker, Annison and Beckett's ‘workplace harm’, and Robinson's ‘post‐traumatic organisation’, this research addresses this gap through a survey ( n = 47) and interviews ( n = 4) with staff who have left the service. Themes identified were (1) identity and values, (2) emotional impact of the job and (3) organisational climate. The possibility of a return to the service is also explored, as well as implications for the organisation and retention of staff. 10.1111/hojo.12607 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
