A lively and challenging collection of writings by those at the
very heart of the Probation Service for 50-years. Complete with
descriptions of life at all levels of what has been described as
the 'jewel in the crown' of criminal justice. Moral and other
challenges are presented alongside those of standing-up to
government Ministers whose aspirations for 'political immortality'
have led to profound tensions. The book describes how tough talk
and market-strategies have undermined 100-years of devoted public
service and ideas about how best to help change the lives of some
of the most marginalised people in society. Equality, race and
social deprivation are amongst the issues explored as the ethos of
probation and its deeply-rooted values are laid bare in a book that
deals with highs and lows, hazards, innovation, hopes, aims and the
international influence of an organization whose original mission
(not always popular) was to 'advise, assist and befriend' those
otherwise heading for prison and a life of crime.Colourful and
highly readable, The Golden Age of Probation takes the reader on a
journey through England and Wales exposing social disadvantage,
unrest and increasingly London-centric policies. It records
first-hand what life was like for those at the sharp end during an
era of extensive progress, development and change.
