A study of the venture of English and Welsh probation services into partnerships with non-statutory agencies during the 1990s with a focus on programs for substance abuse offenders. Rumgay (social policy, London School of Economics) explores inter-professional tensions, identifies features common to successful partnerships and compares results with in-house specialist projects. The book argues that contemporary probation service needs these strong bonds with outside organizations to preserve its tradition as a rehabilitative, rather than enforcement agency. Annotation c.
