| Abstract: | Contemporary migration dynamics increasingly intersect with criminal justice systems, generating complex challenges for probation services and social work practice. Migrants involved in probation supervision often experience multiple forms of vulnerability, including legal uncertainty, socio-economic marginalization, cultural barriers, and limited access to institutional resources. These conditions require integrated responses that combine legal supervision with psychosocial and community-based interventions. This paper examines restorative psychosocial interventions at the intersection of social work, migration, and probation services, with a focus on the legal, institutional, and professional frameworks that shape contemporary probation practice. Drawing on interdisciplinary literature from social work, criminology, and legal studies, the study explores how restorative justice approaches can support rehabilitation, accountability, and social reintegration among migrant populations involved in criminal justice systems. The analysis highlights the role of probation services as hybrid institutions that combine legal oversight with social work interventions designed to address structural vulnerabilities and promote desistance from crime. Particular attention is given to culturally competent practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and trauma-informed approaches as key components of effective restorative interventions. The paper further discusses implications for professional practice and policy development, emphasizing the importance of rights-based frameworks, institutional coordination, and community-oriented rehabilitation programs. By integrating restorative justice principles with psychosocial support mechanisms, probation systems can better respond to the complex realities of migration while promoting social inclusion, procedural fairness, and longterm reintegration.
