It uses both published and archive material to reveal the methods and aims of the new officers and contrasts them with those of the existing system of missionaries. The work adapts and borrows from Garland's (1985) work describing the creation of a penal welfare complex and, in particular, his analysis of the methods used by the newly appointed probation officers. cOxforddNovember 2007vVol. 47, n. 6tBritish Journal of Criminology (The)x0007-0955pp. 938-954 aREGIME DE PROVA aSANÇÃO PENAL aMETODOLOGIAS aESTUDO DE CASOS aINGLATERRA aPAÍS DE GALES aGARDbRaymond
