Abstract
By describing and analysing how the work of a probation officer with adolescent 'joyriders' in West Belfast moved from traditional casework to an innovative community-based project, the authors try to show that the concepts of 'contradiction', 'practice ideology' and 'space' are useful in grasping the shift to community-based practice, as we struggle to develop a personal position in relationship with collective NAPO policy.Keywords
