handle is hein.journals/probj16 and id is 1 raw text is: P RDBA1ION Vol 16 No 1 March 1970 Journal of the National Association of Probation Officers - 4s. COMMENT leport on the Probation and After-Care Service HE Report of the Probation and After-Care Department for 1966 to 1968, ike its predecessor, suffers from the convention governing its production. )stensibly, it is an account of the work of a small Home Office Department; n fact, it covers the achievements and shortcomings of the probation and after- are service over a three-year period, ending more than tv Alve months ago. The formula gives the central authority pride of place, and thus the first ,hapter opens with an account of the activities of the Inspectorate. The :ontribution of the Inspectorate to the working of the service is valuable, )ut not fundamental, and its documentation might more appropriately have been eserved for a later chapter. The administrative unit of the service is the Probaton and After-Care omnmittee, and the report suffers in not making this clear. Readers outside he service will be puzzled. Work is done, new duties are undertaken, but vho is responsible for making things happen'? Staff is increased, ancillary vorkers are appointed, great numbers of probationers are supervised, many housands of social enquiry reports are prepared, group work is carried out, Ittempts are made to help offenders dependent on drugs, prison welfare officers [re integrated with the service, and prison social work developed, parole election and parole supervision is extended, volunteers trained and accredited, 'ONTENTS OMMENT . . .
