However, the LDS was not intended to address how the research might be applied in practice. This artice therefore briefly outlines the research and discusses some of the policy implications, in order to open a debate with practitioners and others about the way that research might be relevant to everyday practice with people who offend. The papers that follow this article were written in response to the challenge of applying the findings of the LDS in probation practice.
