Hilary Nettleton, Sandra Walklate and Brian Williams, "Three models of probation involvement with victims of crime", in "Social Work Law: an Interface for Policy and Practice Development", Liverpool Law Review XIX/2 (1997), 203-217: Probation managers and practitioners have differing views about the appropriateness, ethics and methods of involvement with victims of crime. Using interview data, we consider the reasons for this wide range of opinion, and illustrate three distinct approaches taken in practice. Victim contact work is important and sensitive, but is viewed with considerable suspicion by many in the Probation Service. Some political, ethical and practical reasons for this concern are discussed.
