13 Prob. 1 (1967)

handle is hein.journals/probj13 and id is 1 raw text is: PROBATIONVol 13 No 1 March 1967 Journal of the National Association of Probation Officers COMMENT leport on Probation WHILST WELCOMING THE Report of the Work of the Probation and After-Care )epartment 1962-1965 as something which the Association has long demanded, t must be said at once that its title is misleading. In fact, it is not a report on he operations of a central government department but an account of the work )f the probation service as a whole. The Report provokes mingled feelings of admiration and exasperation: admiration for all that the service has achieved, exasperation at the difficulties vhich have been put in its way. The account it gives of the activities of the Home Office is disturbing indeed, or it frankly concedes that the Home Office has been unable to fulfil all its >bligations. Less frankly, while admitting that the Home Office has not achieved ts aim of making full inspections every three years, it fails to make clear how rery far it has fallen short of this aim. That the interval between inspections is )ften rather more than double this would not be apparent to the ordinary reader. The link between the Home Office and the service is tenuous indeed. Leader- ;hip and responsibility has fallen increasingly (and many will think rightly) to )robation committees and their principal officers, and it is a pity that the authors >f this Report cannot bring themselves directly to acknowledge this. They speak A new developments in after-care, in prison welfare, in social enquiries for the :ourts, in divorce court welfare, yet not once are the efforts of principal probation ONTENTS ;OMMENT . . . . . . .
