Abstract
In the push for professional status and independence, and with the expansion of the Probation Service the contemporary probation officer has moved away from a traditional and, perhaps, more effective role and place in the court. This has resulted in a loss of influence which needs attention. There is a crisis of confidence; the courts are unsure of the Probation Service, and the probation officer in unsure of his or her place. The author argues for a positive presence in court to counter this trend.
