The Editorial comment in the 1969 issue of this journal referred to the number of Government reports that appeared in 1968, and which could 'drastically affect social policy and the machinery of local and central government', especially as these issues relate to the treatment of offenders. One of the issues raised in this editorial was 'whether or not the after‐care undertaken by the probation service should expand into family and community support; or, on the contrary, whether family and community support, as envisaged by Seebohm, should expand into the after‐care of individuals leaving institutions'.This paper seeks to comment generally on some of these issues against the following broad background of:

The present 'setting' in which probation casework is carried out, the forces which influence this setting, and some of the implications which may arise from this.
The application of 'generic' principles of casework in connection with the particular needs of some delinquents, and the need for further thinking in this area.

Music has always been central to the cultures that young people create, follow, and embrace. In the 1960s, young hippie kids sang along about peace with the likes of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez and tried to change the world. In the 1970s, many young people ended up coming home in body bags from Vietnam, and the music scene changed, embracing punk and bands like The Sex Pistols. In Sells Like Teen Spirit , Ryan Moore tells the story of how music and youth culture have changed along with the economic, political, and cultural transformations of American society in the last four decades.

The assumption underlying this book is that we are facing a societal transformation, a "silent revolution" in fact, with consequences at least as far reaching as those of the Industrial Revolution. The author of this book wants to intervene in the current discussion about this revolution, a discussion which is normally colored by a resigned determinism maintaining that the transformation will come about all by itself as an automatic consequence of the development of technology. As opposed to this, the author wants to politicize the debate by insisting on the fact that this silent revolution is not inextricably tied to the automatically whirring computer discs of technological development, but is dependent on a number of political choices.

The Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg remains largely unexplored as far as social science is concerned. An excellent study in electoral sociology by Jules Gérard-Libois gives interesting insights and points out rather convincingly that Luxembourg is endowed with a political system that has a marked degree of specificity, be it from the point of view of the electoral system, electoral habits or the social structure in general. It shows in particular that owing to the rather peculiar electoral system (ordinal proportional representation system allowing panachage), a large party diversity and a dynamic regionalism is fostered.Consequently, the systematic study of small political entities such as Luxembourg enables a considerable and genuine refinement of political analysis.

The article identifies and comments on the principles of communication adopted in professional Internet communities. The study was carried out on the material of Facebook social network groups created to discuss the problems of higher education and teaching the Russian language.
The theoretical foundations of the research are works devoted to Internet communication and professional communication; the most significant are theses on communicative norms, the meaning of their observance and the causes of violations. The relevance of the author's approach is determined by the inclusion of research in the communicative paradigm.
The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the communicative codes of professional Internet communities. To achieve this goal, the authors, using the methods of discursive, semantic and contextual analysis, investigated the descriptions and rules of the selected professional groups, finding: (1) lexico-grammatical and stylistic features of texts; (2) communicative norms and taboos, explicated in texts; (3) correlation of these norms with universal communicative principles of cooperation and politeness and their individual maxims.
The novelty of the approach is provided by the chosen object: scientific and pedagogical Internet communities have not previously received a comprehensive description. The results achieved during the study allowed us to formulate significant conclusions: (1) at the new stage of research in the field of Internet communication, a differentiating approach is needed to detect the specifics of various platforms; (2) research on professional communication should be supplemented by observations of the open communicative space that is being formed in social networks; (3) Internet communities demonstrate the processes of communicative normogenesis, self-organization and self-regulation of the communicative space; (4) the language design of communicative codes is not regulated and gives authors (community administrators) freedom of action; 5) codes of professional Internet communities go back to the principles of cooperation and politeness, while most of the maxims are not explicated and constitute a normative communicative background, others (for example, maxims of relevance, tact and sympathy) are specifically stipulated.
