 The National Probation Service for England and Wales is a statutory Criminal Justice Service which works with offenders either because they have just been released from prison or because they have received a community sentence (community rehabilitation order,drug treatment and testing order..)

  During the late nineteenth century volutary societies, led by Church of England Teperance Society, appointed missionaries to the London Police Courts – to reclaim drunkards and later other offenders.

1907 – supervision was given a statutory basis wich allowed courts to appoint and employ probation officers.Probation officers were formally empowered to work with offenders and to advise, assist and befriend offenders placed under supervison by court.Mayor development followed including the beginning of work with prisoners before and after release, civil court work and reparation in the form of community service.

       In the 1970s and 1980s partnership with other agencies resulted in cautioning schemes, alternatives to custody ( day centers, special programme conditions ) the probation order as a sentence and risk of custody and risk of reconviction assessment tools.

     

Offenders are likely to be put on probation when:

- a judge or magistrate gives them a community sentence - the offender is automatically released from prison after serving half or two-thirds of their sentence - the Parole Board decides that the offender can be released early from a jail sentence - offenders on probation have to comply with the rules and requirements of their community sentence or their release licence from prison

Additional requirements of probation can include:

- completing alcohol and drug treatment - staying in a probation hostel - staying away from the area where the crime was committed - a curfew, backed up be electronic tagging Some offenders are made to stay in probation hostels, known as Approved Premises ( much higher degree of supervision)

      protect the public reduce the risk of an offender committing a further offence (under their supervision and afterwards ) their work begins even before the offender is sentenced or released from prison keep contact with the offender and their family monitor the offender's movements while they are on probation supporting victims of crime

    

Each year the probation service commences the supervision of some 175,000 offenders. Caseload - excess of 200,000 (90% are male and 10% are female) a quarter of offenders serving community sentences are aged 16-20 and just less than three-quarters are aged 21 and over.

Approximately 70% of offenders supervised will be on community sentences, and 30% imprisoned with a period of statutory licence supervision in the community as an integral part of the sentence NPS assist magistrates and judges in their sentencing decisions

      NOMS in 2004 changed the pattern of correctional services delivery The Offender Management Bill, introduced in Parliament late in 2006, was intended to enable some probation areas to become trusts as part of wider Government policy The Bill is completed July 2007, and the first six probation trusts came into being on 1 April 2008 (Merseyside, South Wales, Humberside, Dyfed/Powys, West Mercia and Leicestershire & Rutland). New Probation Trusts enjoy greater freedoms - they demonstrated that they were robust organisations capable of delivering to high standards of performance and efficiency. Trusts and continuing Boards alike will have a larger role in the local commissioning of services from the private, voluntary and community sectors, They all still have to deliver on their own contractual obligations to their Regional Offender Manager.
