probation

Cards (5)

  • S. probation officers have a clear focus on helping offenders to rehabilitate
    rehabilitation leads to less recidivism and less crime in society
  • S. work alongside multiple agencies
    prison
    police
    CPS
  • W. probation officers have very high case loads making them less effective at monitoring offenders in the community

    dangerous offenders may have the opportunity to commit serious crimes whilst in the community.
    E.G. serial rapist, Joseph McCann
  • W. staff have to focus on paper work

    means not as much time supervising offenders
  • W. CPS failed to live up to Government expectations
    of the 21 companies, 19 failed to meet rehabilitation targets
    offenders supervised through phone calls
