	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2023 answer text <p>Community orders are a key part of tackling the most egregious forms of Anti-Social behaviour, for offences that come before the courts.</p><p>As a requirement of a community sentence, Probation delivered Community Payback is essential in ensuring the public can see justice being done and offenders giving back to the communities they have harmed. It is also key in tackling the visible effects of Anti-Social Behaviour, through the millions of hours of unpaid work that offenders are required to spend clearing up our streets, removing graffiti and fly tipping, and improving our public spaces. This Government is investing up to a further £93million to ramp up the delivery of Community Payback to up to 8million hours a year. We are also working to improve public engagement in Community Payback so communities have a greater voice in shaping delivery in their local areas by legislating to create a statutory duty for Probation to consult key community leaders and organisations on Community Payback priorities in their areas.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 06/03/2023 12:38:38 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
