Service

An
interview
with

the
National

German
Probation

Probation
Profile
The
tasks
of
the
Probation
Service
in
England
and
Wales
are
divided
in
West
Germany
between
three
different
Ser-
vices :
a
Court
Social
Work
Service
which
prepares
pre-trial
reports,
sub-
divided
into
juvenile
court
and
adult
court
workers;
a
Bewahrungshilfe
(Pro-
bation)
Service
who
supervise
sentenced
offenders;
and
Prison
Social
Workers.
They
normally
work
for
the
Ministries
of
Justice
in
each
of
the
eleven
States
in
the
Federal
Republic.
Probation
orders
don’t
exist
in
their
own
right
but
offenders
are
supervised
as
an
optional
feature
of
suspended
terms
of
imprisonment,
rather
like
a
suspended
sentence
supervision
order.
