This paper considers the position of female offenders in relation to the work of the probation service.
Abstract
Using both primary and secondary data sources, it investigates disparities between females and males in the use of probation-administered disposals and suggests the social inquiry report to be a key factor in these. Possible reasons for differential treatment of females by the probation service, and other issues relating to this are also discussed. (Author abstract)
