Abstract: This article examined the impact of contemporary developments in probation policy on frontline practice. It drew on a study that generated qualitative data from probation officers based in Wales.

The chapter described the study’s findings and drew attention to the tendency of some frontline officers to rely mainly on the welfare-oriented approach that dominated probation in its early formation.
