tabling member printed	Adam Jogee
uin	744
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2024 answer text <p>Across England and Wales, community service, now known as Unpaid Work (UPW), is primarily a punitive measure, however it can contribute to an individual's rehabilitation by providing an opportunity to gain vocational or skills-based on the job training while giving back to the society they have offended in. For those with an identified skills or training need, a percentage of their UPW hours can also be spent on education, training and employment activities to support their desistance from crime.</p><p>As it is primarily intended and used as a punitive part of a sentence, we do not measure the impact of having an UPW requirement on reoffending rates. This information could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.</p><p>Tackling reoffending is crucial to reducing crime, reducing demand on prison and probation services and protecting the public. This Government will continue to work with partners across the criminal justice systems to reduce reoffending and giving offenders the tools to move away from crime.</p> answering member constituency Scunthorpe answering member printed Sir Nicholas Dakin question first answered 25/07/2024 16:35:22 answering member 4056 label Biography information for Nic Dakin
