| Sumario: | This essay uses contemporary sources to argue that the first probation officers appointed following the Probation of Offenders Act of 1907 were very different from the Police Court Missionaries then working in the courts of London. 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.
