Community Payback should be a visible punishment, with offenders undertaking work that benefits the communities they have harmed.</p><p> </p><p>Local engagement is an integral part of Community Payback, and we encourage members of the public to nominate projects via the Gov.uk website. The public can provide a unique insight into the needs of their local area and therefore the merit of public nominations is that projects are responsive to those priorities.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2022 answer text <p>This Government is committed to tackling the causes of reoffending to keep our communities safe by addressing the complex issues that lead to offending, while also strengthening the supervision of offenders in the community. Since 2009/10, the proven reoffending rate for adults serving a sentence in the community (i.e. a community order or suspended sentence order) has fallen by 7.2 percentage points (from 36.2% in 2009/10 to 29.0% in 2019/20). Over the same time period, the overall reoffending rate has fallen from 31% to 26%.</p><p>Sentencing in individual cases is a matter for our independent courts. Community sentences can and should be tailored to address the individual needs, as well as to punish offenders and provide reparation to the community. Evidence suggests that community sentences, in certain circumstances, are more effective in reducing reoffending than short custodial sentences.</p><p>In September 2020 we published the Sentencing White Paper which set out our plans for more robust and effective community sentencing. We have delivered many of these reforms in the Police, Crime, Sentencing, and Courts (PCSC) Act 2022. This includes piloting Problem-Solving Courts (PSCs) which will trial innovative incentives and sanctions to improve compliance with court orders, reduce reoffending, and support rehabilitation. The PCSC Act also enables closer supervision of certain offenders, and the option for more robust and flexible use of electronically monitored curfews. The rollout of the Alcohol Abstinence and Monitoring Requirement last year provides an option to directly tackle alcohol related offending, imposing an alcohol ban for up to 120 days; on 97% of the days monitored the ban was complied with.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 27/06/2022 14:46:33 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2022 answer text <p>It is not possible to map offenders who have completed community sentences to local justice areas. However, the number of offenders who have completed community sentences (Community Orders, Youth Rehabilitation Orders, and Supervision Default Orders) in each of the seven probation regions in place for the period the data refers to can be found in the table below. This data does not include Suspended Sentence Orders, given they are classified as a custodial sentence.</p><p> </p><p>During 2020, the number of court order completions was substantially reduced as a result of operational restrictions put in place in response to the pandemic.</p><p> </p><p>In June 2021 we successfully created the new unified Probation Service, with a permanent uplift of £155m extra investment - a 15% increase on 2019-20 funding. This means that the Probation Service now has the responsibility for supervising offenders of all levels of risk, together with the timely delivery of community payback and rehabilitative programmes, which were previously the responsibility of the Community Rehabilitations Companies. As part of these changes, the Probation Service is now organised under twelve regions across England and Wales.</p><p> </p><p>We are committed to using our programme of reform to drive up overall performance standards. Our new performance framework for the unified Service will be tracking the key elements of probation delivery, and whether offenders are complying with them to ensure sentences are successfully completed. This will ensure a greater focus on quality and outcomes, including the timeliness of sentence delivery.</p><p><strong>Number of offenders that completed a community sentence in each year between 2016 and 2020, by region, England and Wales</strong> <strong><sup>(</sup></strong><strong><sup>1</sup></strong><strong><sup>)</sup></strong><strong><sup>, (2)</sup></strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Region<sup>(3)</sup></strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016<sup>(4)</sup></strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2018</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2019</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2020<sup>(5)</sup></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>14,336</p></td><td><p>13,807</p></td><td><p>13,775</p></td><td><p>10,613</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>11,326</p></td><td><p>10,519</p></td><td><p>10,758</p></td><td><p>8,546</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Midlands</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>12,970</p></td><td><p>11,604</p></td><td><p>10,846</p></td><td><p>8,793</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>9,289</p></td><td><p>10,302</p></td><td><p>10,202</p></td><td><p>7,952</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South East and Eastern</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>12,842</p></td><td><p>11,620</p></td><td><p>11,776</p></td><td><p>9,037</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South West</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>11,478</p></td><td><p>10,373</p></td><td><p>10,473</p></td><td><p>8,628</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>..</p></td><td><p>5,190</p></td><td><p>4,774</p></td><td><p>4,867</p></td><td><p>3,786</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>England and Wales</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>..</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>77,431</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>72,999</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>72,697</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>57,355</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>..
