Ultimately, the PSR provides recommendations to the Court, but the final decision rests with the judge.</p><p>The following table shows the number of PSRs prepared by the Probation Service and presented to the criminal courts in England and Wales between January 2024 and December 2024.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Magistrates' and Crown Courts</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>England</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Wales</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total pre-sentence court reports (PSR)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>91,857</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>7,149</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>99,006</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Standard PSR</p></td><td><p>4,838</p></td><td><p>748</p></td><td><p>5,586</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Fast Delivery PSR written</p></td><td><p>71,157</p></td><td><p>4,376</p></td><td><p>75,533</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Fast Delivery PSR oral</p></td><td><p>15,862</p></td><td><p>2,025</p></td><td><p>17,887</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Note, PSR figures by region are published every April as part of the Offender Management Statistics quarterly bulletin.
