Abstract
The Probation Service managed in the past without management. The comprehensive review of the Service offered by the Morison Committe in 1962 made not a single mention of management. Gradually over the past 25 years, however, and particularly in the last decade, the managerial system of thought has achieved a pervasive dominance and, if the Green Paper on 'Supervision and Punishment in the Community' is put into effect, it will assume even more emphasis. Managerial control of practice will be greater in extent and detail and probation officers will be expected to manage offenders. Bill McWilliams of the Cambridge Institute of Criminology evaluates the contribution which management has made to the Service and suggests an alternative leadership model, closer to practice ideals and realities.
