On 9th May, the day that a new Ministry of Justice for England and Wales began work, our community sentences projected published the Community Sentences Digest by Enver Solomon, CCJS' deputy director and Max Rutherford.
The report provides good quality objective information about the way community sentences are used, key facts and figures relating to trends in their use, and information about the multiple needs of adult offenders serving community sentences. It is a vital resource for anybody interested in alternatives to custody. The report is part of the Community Sentences project of the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies which was set up to investigate and monitor the new Community Order and Suspended Sentence Order introduced in the Criminal Justice Act 2003.
