ABSTRACT
In this chapter the nature of probation work with black and white offenders will be comparatively considered. A number of questions have been formulated arising from a concern to understand the possible effect of racism or anti-racism on probation practice. These questions also relate to some of the issues raised in the previous chapter, which sought to explore probation officers’ perceptions of offending behaviour. This chapter, then, focuses on the process of probation work with black and white offenders.
