‘It is now possible to study both new departments following the commendable speed with which Waterside Press have published these two informative books… There is no sign of haste in the writing of the books which cover in exemplary detail the functions of both new bodies…These two books contain a wealth of material, including historical and current political background, useful appendices and facts about the new departments and their wide-ranging functions which will be appreciated by all involved in the numerous agencies of the criminal justice system. Judges, magistrates, police and prison officers, those involved with probation and social services, court clerks and others who read these books will gain valuable insights into the purposes, powers and day to day functioning of these new bodies and how they will affect both their work and the lives of citizens of the United Kingdom… Bryan Gibson and Waterside Press are to be congratulated on producing these stimulating books so soon after such a fundamental change was effected.’
