"The four councils in Tayside and Fife have put themselves on collision course with the Scottish Executive by rejecting plans for a shake-up of the system used to manage offenders, writes Grant Smith.
Ministers have proposed creating either four or six criminal justice authorities (CJAs) to cover the whole country. These would monitor the performance of social work services relating to offenders and intervene if problems were found."
