Abstract
This paper forms part of a research project that started in 2012 and aimed at reviewing
and identifying existing practices within probation that should be highlighted and
maintained. The review focuses on the black and minority ethnic (BME) population of
probation users. The nexus of our investigation was the London Probation Trust (LPT) and
our primary research question was whether race equality can dri ve quality in the
probation service. If the current reforms are all about competition and quality out comes,
then where does race equality sit?
