Probation Effects
Ensuring offenders' awareness of the effects of crime
Another method the probation service uses to rehabilitate criminals and mitigate reoffending rates is to ensure offenders are educated and are their awareness increased of the effects of crime on the victims of crime and the general public.
Mine tragedy boss had 'criminal record' for fly-tipping and selling faulty coal
The owner of the Welsh coal mine where four men were killed last week was allowed to operate despite having a 'criminal record' for fly-tipping and selling faulty coal.
Each year the Probation Service begins the supervision of more than 170,000 offenders, nationally. Male offenders make up nearly 90% of this figure.
The average age of those under court order supervision is 30, with 25% of all offenders supervised aged 23 or under. About 9% of those on supervision are from minority ethnic groups.

Your local probation office aims to: protect the public; ensure that offenders are aware of the effects of crime on victims and others; ensure the proper punishment of offenders in the community; reduce re-offending and rehabilitate offenders.
