Would you or your community group like an intractive presentation on local crime and community sentences?

What is the Local Crime Community Sentence Project?

It’s a joint venture by magistrates and probation officers to increase the knowledge and understanding of community sentences.  It’s an opportunity for your group to ‘be the judge’, sentencing a serious crime and deciding whether the offender goes to prison or is given a community sentence.

What is the purpose of this project?

The aim is to increase people’s knowledge of community sentencing and to increase confidence in the criminal justice system.

What is a community sentence?

A community sentence is a form of punishment in the community which is supervised by the probation service.

How long is the presentation?

The presentation is about an hour long.  It is an interactive presentation which can be made at any time to suit your group.  You don’t need to provide any equipment – everything is provided.

What does it cost?

The presentation is absolutely free of charge.
