Abstract
Much of the pressure experienced by the Probation Service in England and Wales and criticism made of its performance results from structural flaws in the criminal justice system. This has led to a penal policy characterised by inconsistency and lack of direction, subject to the vagaries of conviction politics, pragmatic expedients and desperate damage limitation exercises. It is difficult to detect a thread of consistent, planned penal strategy in which the Service can make a rational contribution, argues Roger Shaw of the Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge.
