OASys Manual Contents Acknowledgements The OASys team would like to thank all those practitioners in the prison and the probation services who participated in the three pilot phases of the development project. Their patient work and thoughtful feedback has been of real benefit to the project. Thanks also to Colin Roberts, Probation Studies Unit, Centre for Criminological Research, University of Oxford and Peter Raynor, University of Wales, Swansea, who acted as consultants to the development process. We are particularly grateful to Colin for making available to the project his detailed knowledge and experience of the issues associated with the implementation of ACE and ASSET.
