Synopsis

What can social workers really hope to achieve in dealing with criminals and courts? Are they here to reduce crime or help people in trouble with the law? Professional workers in the probation and allied services constantly confront these questions, and there is increasing confusion about their role. The 1982 Criminal Justice Act in particular has posed new and urgent problems. Peter Raynor examines the sources and practical consequences of current uncertainty, and suggests ways of understanding and practising social work as an essential part of the humane criminal justice system.
