Negotiating Alternatives to Custody: a Quantitative Study of an Experiment in Social Enquiry Practice

ANNE CELNICK

Anne Celnick, formerly a probation officer, now holds a joint post as research officer for South Yorkshire Probation Service and lecturer in applied social research at Sheffield University. Her first degree was in anthropology and she is currently reading for a Ph.D.

Summary

Between january 1980 and December 1982, a team of probation officers attempted a new approach to probation practice which has been described in an earlier article. The present article outlines the types of social enquiry reports which resulted from the experiment, and in a quqntitative analysis of the team's reports, compares the relationship between recommendation and outcome in the different types. Indications of the effect on sentincing of recommendations for a strict reporting style of probation order are examined.
