National Probation Service
Probation staff work with offenders from their first appearance in court to beyond the completion of their sentence. They challenge offenders’ behaviour and attitudes to encourage them to make real changes in their lives. Their aim is to reduce reoffending and to protect the public. Probation officers also make risk assessments of the potential dangers an offender may pose to the public, and these form part of the information they supply to courts for sentencers to decide which form
of punishment is most suitable.
