Abstract
This book is an account of a project undertaken to assist and influence the Turkish Probation Service in developing its policies and its practices. This involved management, staff development and general training, together with specific initiatives, to introduce offending behaviour programme work with young offenders and work with victims. All the contributors were directly involved in the project and in their respective chapters they describe and reflect upon their work, while some also discuss and compare their experiences in similar projects in other countries. But while the book has its own interest as a reflective account of a specific project, it also stands as a case study: a detailed description and analysis of a single project which may nevertheless illuminate other activities of this type, undertaken in other countries and in different areas of professional activity.
