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 adresses 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. The Directory features full details of the National Directorate of the Probation Service for England and Wales and the recently reorganised Probation Areas of the new service that replaced the Probation Services. New for 2003, the Directory now gives full details of the Probation and Welfare Service of the Irish Republic, plus an invaluable Glossary of all the abbreviations commonly used within the Probation Service.;Listings also include CAFCASS Area Offices, the Scottish Executive Community Justice Services Division, the Prison and Probation Services Psychology Group, all Area Psychologists, the Home Office Mental Health Unit, High Security Hospitals, all Youth Offending Teams and many other useful addresses. An invaluable source of information that is needed in day to day work with offenders, the Napo Probation Directory is the book that everyone who works in or with the criminal justice system needs immediately to hand.
