Publisher's Synopsis
This remains simply the best professional directory of its kind. It maintains its high standards each year because it is produced by a working probation officer who knows what his colleagues need. As a result, it is more than just a list of the names and addresses of those in the probation service. It lists Home Office and Prison Service Agency personnel, all UK prisons, probation and bail hostels, services for adult offenders in Scotland, all NACRO addresses, specialist accommodation and other services for offenders, and a comprehensive collection of miscellaneous addresses. For 2002, the Directory features full details of the National Directorate of the new Probation Service for England & Wales and the reorganised and amalgamated Probation Areas of the new service that replace the former Probation Services. In accordance with the policy of continual improvement, the NAPO Probation Directory 2002 also now contains CAFCASS Area Offices and the Scottish Executive Community Justice Services Division.;Recognising the increasing importance of working with mentally disordered offenders, the new Directory includes the Prison & Probation Services Psychology Group and all Area Psychologists, while the listings in the Home Office Mental Health Unit and the High Security Hospitals sections have been expanded.
