Ladies of Lost Causes
In this highly original study, Judith Rumgay evaluates the development of a residential programme for female offenders run by the Griffins Society. The text is unique in that it documents the radical contribution of women philanthropists and practitioners to offender rehabilitation. Drawing on archival, interview, and observational sources, the author describes, analyses, and evaluates a distinctive model of care provision by volunteer, upper-mid…

Evaluating Correctional Treatment Programs
Scripts for Safer Survival: Pathways Out of Female Crime
The author explores some theoretical perspectives that, together, might aid development of a heuristic understanding of female desistance from crime: opportunity; identity; scripts; self‐efficacy; and resilience. For an opportunity for desistance to be seized, it must not only present itself to the offender, but also be both recognised and valued as such. It is suggested that successful desistance from crime may be rooted in recognition of an opp…
Crime, Punishment and the Drinking Offender
Judith Rumgay explores theoretical explanations of the alcohol-crime relationship, critically analyses their empirical support in research, and develops a perspective based on 'expectancy theory', whi
Pitfalls and Prospects in Partnership: Probation Programmes for Substance Misusing Offenders
Home Office directions to probation services to forge financial partnerships with voluntary sector organisations are beginning to have their impact on inter‐agency relationships. Concurrently, encouragement has been given to the development of treatment programmes for substance misusing offenders through Schedule 1A of the Criminal Justice Act 1991, which provides for such treatment to be required as a condition of a probation order. The authors …
Custodial Decision Making in a Magistrates' Court
This article explores the relative contributions to sentencing decision making of a stable court culture and immediate situational factors intervening in particular cases. An empirical study of a magistrates' court which showed a generally parsimonious use of custody reveals that this pattern was generally sustained by important characteristics of the approach to decision making within the court itself and of magistrates' views on the nature of t…
Taking Rehabilitation Out of After-Care
Talking Tough: Empty Threats in Probation Practice
The author considers the emphasis of the recent Green Paper, Punishment, Custody and the Community , on community‐based punishments and the implications of this for the probation service. She argues that, although the probation service is now concerned about this policy it has nevertheless contributed to it. She concludes that lack of confidence in rehabilitation has made the service vulnerable to co‐option into the punishment movement and that o…
Probation — The Next Five Years A Comment
The author considers the recent joint statement of the Association of Chief Officers of Probation, Central Council of Probation Committees and National Association of Probation Officers (1987). She argues that while the broad aims set out in the document are welcome, by neglecting wider aspects of criminal justice policy and internal divisions in the probation service, the joint statement represents an inadequate basis for formulation of policy a…
Teaching social work practice: A partnership between college and field
Although CCETSWs recent training proposals have met with little support in the Government's response, the author considers that the issues raised concerning the relationship between colleges and field agencies in the delivery of social work education are of continuing importance. This paper considers the problems of the college-field relationship and the meaning in practice of the idea of partnership. In the light of this it defines the different…
