ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, divides the World Wide Web geographically, assigning country suffixes to states to be used in web addresses for sites on their territory. This paper reports on the campaign in Catalonia to have the right to use .ct as the territorial domain name for sites in Catalonia. The bid has been countered by the central government in Madrid and the argument is ongoing. In the interim, ICANN have assigned the .cat suffix. This recognises the linguistic, cultural and ethnic group as a web entity without going as far as to give them the same web standing as a sovereign state.

This article, arising from the author's long experience of work in the probation service, was inspired by Peter Raynor's (2003) article ' Evidence-based practice and its critics'. It argues that the antipathy many probation staff have towards the What Works agenda is not necessarily a rejection of cognitive behavioural methods in themselves. Rather, in the politically driven rush to produce 'results', it suggests that there has been a failure to take proper account of the importance of the individual and his or her complex needs. This is the probation officer's traditional strength and, it is argued, is something that Raynor's article fails to fully appreciate.
