Ireland and the Department of Probation and Parole in Malta, that directly employ Psychologists, have come together to write this article, describing how psychological services have been developed over the years to support and add value to the work of Probation services. This article will describe the development of the two services, the psychological assessments and the interventions they deliver, that enhance the work carried out by probation officers. The benefits of this specialist role within the wider justice system will also be considered. The authors will highlight key principles of good practice and the learning for probation services for the future.

Taking a multi-methodological approach, this 150-year study initially qualitatively reviews the situational circumstances faced by Foreign and Maltese offenders between the mid 19th and mid 20th Century, followed by a quantitative and spatial analysis of the post 1950 period, followed by an indepth analysis of the 1990s offenders. A classification system of what is termed as a foreigner offender is created, which employment resulted in the findings that there are distinct differences in structure in terms of foreign offender and the offences they commit when compared to their Maltese counterparts. Findings show that the longer the foreigner stays on the islands, the higher the potentiality of emulation to the Maltese counterpart’s structure both in terms of offence type, offender residential and offence spatial locations.

The rise and fall of these institutions and the problems they faced is incorporated into a discussion on the treatment of women, children, debtors, and the poor. The island of Malta, as crossroads for power, religion, and culture is used as a snapshot example to assess the extent to which continental European and English ideas shaped carceral institutions elsewhere.
