To meet these objectives the AEC has a structured programme involving group and individual contact, that is, six group sessions sandwiched between one-to-one interviews held immediately before and after the group.
The initial one-to-one meeting, held with one of the two group leaders, serves to clarify what participants can expect from the course and what is expected of them.

Punishment is just a word after all: nothing more than convenient political rhetoric meriting only lip-service from probation managers and practitioners poised at the β€˜ window of opportunity ’.
At a time when the Home Secretary is inviting the Probation Service to β€˜ move centre stage in the Criminal Justice System ’ (NACRO, 1990, p. 17) it may seem misguided and unnecessarily pedantic to take issue with the White Paper's notion of punishment.

Mrs Thatcher, a recent convert to environmental conservation, clearly held the opinion that environmental problems are not only soluble but that solving them can be shown to be cost-effective:
The political concern is not altruistic.
In the past when we identified forms of pollution, we have shown our capacity to act effectively . The great London smogs are now only a nightmare of the past . We have cut airborne lead by 50 per cent . We are spending Β£4 billion on cleansing the Mersey Basin alone, and the Thames now has the cleanest metropolitan estuary in the world . Even though this kind of action may cost a lot, I believe it to be money well and necessarily spent because the health of our economy and the health of our environment are totally dependent upon each other … . The Government espouses the concept of sustainable economic development . Stable prosperity can be achieved throughout the world provided the environment is nurtured and safeguarded (Thatcher 1988).

As has been demonstrated elsewhere with regard to the generic probation setting (Singer, 1989), the supervision of offenders involves two overarching aims: namely support and surveillance.
Probation practice is not, however, solely concerned with the establishment of rules.
Support refers to anything which is said or done to help the offender solve or mitigate their personal or social problems: surveillance to anything which is said or done to induce the offender to conform to socially acceptable standards of behaviour.

The 1964 Labour Government was elected on a tide of impatience at the slackening pace of social reform, but also of optimism that little more than economic growth, fuelled by technological change, was needed to remove the main causes of urban deprivation (MacGregor, 1981).
In the early 1940s and 1950s, the belief was widely held that a combination of government intervention β€” in the form of town planning, housing and health programmes, and the provision of social security β€” and permanent male full employment, together with an increase in real wages, would reduce suffering due to poverty to manageable proportions.
