Ken and Pauline Grunden offer an engaging and informative approach to being a Global Disciple who shares the Gospel message in a cross-cultural context.

Primrose Cream Separators (Classic Reprint)
Primrose Cream Separators (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Primrose: Cream Separators <p>Progress and success are synonymous. No movement, no undertaking can succeed unless it advances. Man's insatiate ambition to surpass the achievements of his fellow man has wrought many and wonderful changes in the commercial life of the nation. The most wonderful, the most far - reaching change has been the right about face of the business of dairy farming. For scores of years a humdrum existence was lived through on farms that had a few cows. Finally the value of the dairy product became a conscious fact to one man. The invention of the cream separator was the result. Progress has evolved the cream separator from a crude affair to a highly efficient machine, and has advanced dairy farming to its rightful position - the head of the nation's business life. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Privatising probation
Privatising probation

Over the past 20 years, there have been many changes to probation governance in England and Wales aimed at controlling it from central government. However, the changes introduced under the Transforming Rehabilitation (TR) agenda, introduced in 2013, are unprecedented: the service has been divided and part-privatised and no longer exists as a unified public body. This topical book looks at the attitudes of probation practitioners and managers to the philosophy, values, and practicalities of TR. Based on a unique online survey of over 1300 respondents which found that they were unequivocally opposed to its broad aims and objectives, it provides unique insights into the values, attitudes and beliefs of probation staff and their delivery of services. Including broader discussion of the privatisation/marketisation debate, the context of privatisation of criminal justice services and questions of legitimacy and governance, this is essential reading for everyone interested in the future of the service.

Probation Practice and the New Penology
Probation Practice and the New Penology

The criminal justice system has been in a state of flux in recent decades, accompanied by growing levels of insecurity and intolerance of crime and offenders among the general population. Along with government policy and practice, these developments are seen as contributing to an increasingly punitive system that imprisons more than ever before and seeks to punish and manage offenders in the community, rather than to attempt their rehabilitation. For these reasons, along with a loss of faith in rehabilitation, the probation service is now described by many as having become a law enforcement agency, charged by government with the assessment and management of risk, the protection of the public and the management and punishment of offenders, rather than their transformation into pro-social citizens. This book explores the extent to which practitioners within the National Probation Service for England and Wales and the National Offender Management Service ascribe to the values, attitudes and beliefs associated with these macro and mezzo level changes and how much their practice has changed accordingly. By viewing examples of 'real' practice through the lens of the modernisation of public services, managerialism and theories of organisation change, the book considers how 'real' practice is likely to emerge as something unpredictable and perhaps different from the intentions of both government/management and practitioners.
