IN
THIS
ISSUE ...
Should
the
Probation
Service
be
involved
in
marital
work?
This
controver-
sial
question
was
posed
in
our
most
recent
edition
(June
1979)
by
Jack
Chapman.
In
the
pag~s
of
this
present
edition,
the
question
is
answered
with
an
emphatic
&dquo;yes&dquo;
by
two
members
of
the
Service
with
extensive
first-
hand
experience
of
domestic
work.
Harriet
Bretherton
writes
with
feeling
about
divorce
court
custody
and
access
work-and
David
Straker
plots
n?f
territory
in
his
ccscription
of
a
unique
course
in
Leicestershire
whioh
helps
people
through
the
traumatic
processes
of
separation
and
divorce.
Last
time
we
presented
prisoners’
views
about
through-care.
This
time
Professor
Martin
Davies
offers
his
exploration
of
the
perceptions
which
probationers
have
of
their
probation
officers
and
probation
supervision.
Stuart
Palmer
then
investigates
the
world
of
the
probation
hostel.
Activities
outside
of
the
probation
ofhce
are
playing
an
increasing
part
in
the
range
of
methods
employed by
the
Probation
Service.
The
Scun-
thorpe
cycling
group
is
a
demonstration
of
the
effectiveness
with
offenders
of
an
&dquo;outdoor&dquo;
activity
which
brings
enjoyment
but
which
is
also
care-
fully
planned
and
supervised.
PROBATION
FORUM
contains
stimulating
contributions
about
violent
crime
and
mental
health
problems.
And
Jenny
Roberts
leads
the
BOOK
REVIEWS
section
with
an
outspoken
response
to
the
recent
Home
