First sentence: In as much as awareness of the needs and problems of offenders drawn from minority ethnic groups only began to develop in ways that had impact on policy and practice during the last quarter of the twentieth century, the history of the Probation Service's awareness of, and engagement with, the issue of race mirrors that of the country and culture in which it has developed.
