Adler, Sarah Edwards, Mia Scally, Dorothy M Gill, Miranda Horvath This article follows an unpublished 2004 report by Sam Lewis, David Lobley, Peter Raynor and David Smith entitled “Irish Offenders on Probation”. She argues that poor methodology and poor research practice have undermined an important report containing innovative proposals for probation policy and practice in England, Wales and beyond. The 2004 report directly contributed to two articles (Lewis et al. 2005a and 2005b), one of which entitled “The Irish on Probation in England” was published in the 2005 issue of this journal (IPJ). The authors` criticism in the IPJ article of previous research on discrimination and the Irish in Britain is also questioned here, mainly on the grounds that the 2004 report did not list or examine the basic texts on the criminalisation of Irish people in Britain. The authors` understanding of the Irish and Irish cultures of travellers to Britain is called into question. and the usefulness of their participation in a census debate.
