19 Prob. 1 (1973)

handle is hein.journals/probj19 and id is 1 raw text is: P ROBA1IONVol 19 No 1 March 1973 Journal of the National Association of Probation Officers - 20p Edited by Leslie Herbert, MBE, MA COMMENT Report to Parliament THIS third report to Parliament on the work of the Probation and After-care Service (1969-71) is disappointingly traditional in its format. Its short num- bered paragraphs-190 in all-make it diflicult to read; and this is a pity since the story it has to tell is an interesting one. Mark Carlisle, in his opening remarks at the Press Conference introducing the Report, spoke of the steps taken by the Government to remove uncer- tainties from the profession, to provide it with a new and exciting role and to set in train its rapid expansion. The determined reader will find all this in the Report. But what is wrong is that the Report has to fulfil two func- tions, and these conflict. It is firstly a public relations document assuring Parli- ament that all is well; and secondly it is an attempt to give a factual account of the Service. Despite its intrinsic interest and its wealth of information, it inevitably falls between these two stools. It seems from the Report that the Home Office is satisfied with what has been achieved. Its self-congratulation at the massive expansion of the Ser- vice can bring only a wry smile. Its satisfaction with the Butterworth Report reveals again how far removed the Department is from the realities. Mr Carlisle says he wants everyone to understand the importance which the Government attaches to a strong and efficient Probation and After-Care Ser- CONTENTS COMMENT . . . . . . .
