Relatively little is known about early probation systems in Scotland. While there has been growing interest in Scottish probation history, many aspects of early twentieth century probation practice remain unexplored. This article looks in particular at the role of early juvenile probation officers, their background, their ethos, their guiding principles and methods. Probation in 1920s Scotland was a controversial topic that provoked much debate, chiefly concerning the appropriate personnel to act as probation officers and under what conditions should they operate. The article examines these debates regarding probation reform in the interwar period.

“…6 In a previous issue of this journal, Anne Logan explored the connections between the establishment of the juvenile courts from 1908 and the encouragement of female magistrates in these courts. 7 Logan foregrounds the importance of gender not only in the ways in which children and young people were treated, but in how this influenced the recruitment of magistrates and the development of the court in the inter-war period. 8 Before the Sex Discrimination (Removal) Act of 1919, the lay and stipendiary magistracy was open only to males.…”

This article uses cases studies of Dundee and Manchester to explain juvenile property-offending in terms of young people's use of objects and spaces in the period 1945-60. A composite picture is assembled of objects stolen, which reflects growth of the specifically "teenage" consumer market as well as continued significance of young people's contribution to family economies. Concerns about youth, property, and space were reported in newspapers in terms of vandalism and hooliganism. "Play" and "nuisance" were overlapping and contested categories; re-education of young people in the correct use of place, space, and property was a key aim of the postwar juvenile justice system.
