Publisher's Synopsis
Managing the Probation Service is the first book wholly devoted to management issues in the probation service. Drawing together leading writers in the field, it demonstrates how management techniques can be applied to probation work ? covering areas which span organisational and workforce issues, empowerment, teamwork and the importance of information systems. The book also provides guidance on how to cope successfully with the growing role of probation within the Criminal Justice System. Case studies from both the UK and abroad highlight the structural and practice implications of partnerships between probation and other service providers.
