26 Prob. J. 1 (1979)

handle is hein.journals/probj26 and id is 1 raw text is: probation journal PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PROBATION OFFICERS HON. EDITOR: DAVID MATHIESON Price 60p (free to members and associates) IN THIS ISSUE ... IN THE hardening public attitude to crime in general, young offenders are a particular target. The demands for glasshouses and more punitive powers in the juvenile courts command widespread approval. In our lead- ing article, David Ward seeks to encourage a less alarmist debate about the nature and causes of juvenile delinquency. He then goes on to propose constructive and challenging methods of tackling the problem which would involve the police, probation officers, social workers and the com- munity working together towards a common objective. Although the community service is now six years old, the subject still provokes plenty of interest and ideas. Roger Williams launches into the highly controversial area of the staffing of community service schemes -and voices his serious concern that the increasing use of ancillary workers is diAing the standard of operation in community service. In our most recent edition (December 1978), we published proposals for engaging the Probation Service actively in the surveillance and control of offenders in the community. This particular article triggered off an amaz- ing range of responses, some of which are published in this present issue. Adrian James, in a very thorough and considered article, argues strongly against yielding to the law and order lobby - and re-emphasises the importance of social work methods with offenders. Probation Forum and the Book Reviews section should not be over- looked. Readers will find valuable information and stimulating viewpoints on a wide range of topics including vandalism, training and staff develop- ment, the prison crisis and alcoholism.
