The service was split into a national probation service for high risk offenders, with recommendations that officers have a maximum of 60 cases. The recent research finds that many junior probation officers are carrying 200+ cases!<br />Low risk offenders were hived off to 21 separate private Community /rehabilitation Companies.

The probation services for example have been largely privatised, and the potential of further abuse by an 85 year old whose crimes (ie "known crimes ") date back to the 1970/90's will be viewed as low priority. Although Ball will still be 'on licence for aprox a further six months his 'supervision ' will be cursory. <br />MMM MournemanMichaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-8512033445222093902017-12-12T13:34:50.754+00:002017-12-12T13:34:50.754+00:00Do you remember the goings on at the orthodox mona...Do you remember the goings on at the orthodox monastery at Blanco, Texas several years ago?
