It is recognised as a significant landmark for probation on this island, and those who are or have been involved in delivering probation services have much to be proud of. Over the past one hundred years, generations of dedicated staff have worked with individuals and their families, as well as with a range of statutory and voluntary agencies in the community, to manage, rehabilitate and (re)integrate offenders into society. Their innovative and caring spirit firmly established probation as meeting a significant social need and enabled probation to adapt to the changing expectations of the judiciary, other criminal justice stakeholders and the public. This spirit continues and probation is now recognised as the lead agency in the supervision of offenders. The articles in this fourth volume of the IPJ both reflect the achievements of the past and highlight current best practice. Gerry McNally outlines the history of the Probation Service, how it grew and developed, adapting to challenges over the years. Shane Kilcommins and John Considine examine the evolving state intervention in the operating model of criminal trials. Such reflections can help us shape our future direction at a time when probation in both jurisdictions is facing significant change: in Northern Ireland, with the introduction of a new sentencing framework within a devolved criminal justice system; and in the Republic of Ireland, with the completion of Probation Service restructuring and of updated working relationships with courts and prisons. We can also learn from what is happening elsewhere. For example, Brian Stout looks at the introduction of NOMS in England and Wales, and considers its possible implications for Northern Ireland.Two further articles outline the origin and principles of the
