Utilising the best evidenced-based practice from across the UK and further afield, we work to make our sentencing smarter—where crime is proportionately punished, where the harm caused by crime is repaired, where victims feel listened to and protected, where we tackle systemic racial disparities, and where people who have offended are given the chance to turn around their lives.
This report summarises the evidence on the impact of unpaid work, identifies good practice and seeks to understand challenges in its delivery, so it can be as purposeful and as effective as possible.
This briefing makes the case for an ambitious plan to expand the Community Sentence Treatment Requirements programme, outlined in the Government Sentencing White Paper.
