A report showing how community sentences work, bringing together the experiences of probation officers, offenders, victims, academics and third parties.
Community sentences are tough, effective and efficient. They include curfews, exclusion, unpaid work and compulsory attendance at specific programmes.
We've produced this report to show how community sentences work for everyone: the law-abiding majority who pay the taxes which help the system work, the community and the offenders themselves.
It's great news if an offender becomes an ex-offender thanks to a community sentence. But the people who benefit most are the general public who want to see less crime.
