Sentencing options, including alternatives to custody
This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
How can anti-social, violent, and criminal behaviour linked to alcohol and drug use be addressed beyond traditional criminal sentencing?
We want to build confidence and trust in a system that upholds public protection and creates the conditions for individual rehabilitation. We want to better support the probation service in using evidence-based decision-making.
