The Government has embarked on a programme of radical reform for
the probation and prison services with the setting up of a National
Offender Management Service (NOMS). The aim is to make the two
services work more effectively together, and to promote private
sector involvement in 'corrections' work. This groundbreaking
volume takes a critical look at the different aspects of the NOMS
proposals, at a time when the Government is still working out the
detail of its reforms. No other academic publication has
scrutinised the NOMS proposals so closely. Through six
contributions from leading experts on probation and criminal
justice the report identifies the risks attached to NOMS; assesses
the prospects of success; provides ideas for reshaping government
plans and presents an authoritative critique of a set proposals
that could go badly wrong. The report will be crucial reading for
politicians, civil servants and criminal justice managers. Senior
probation and prison staff will find it of particular value.
