Community Sentences Project

The introduction of the Community Order and Suspended Sentence order in the 2003 Criminal Justice Act, on paper at least, radically reconfigured community sentences in England and Wales. CCJS's Community Sentences Project independently assessed the use and impact of these orders during their first three years of operation. The 3 year project was funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.

The project produced seven publications focusing on key aspects of the new orders. This includes a summary of facts and figures about the orders use, sentencers views and attitudes towards the new orders, the use of the orders for women and young adults, and a final report exploring the experiences of probation officers and those subject to orders.
