We are one of the 35 Trusts that make up the Probation Service in England and Wales, and the stated aims of the service nationally are:
Many people convicted of offences in England and Wales serve their sentences in the community and the Probation Service has a statutory obligation to supervise these offenders and ensure they complete their punishment within the timescales set by the courts. We also supervise offenders on release from prison to achieve their effective resettlement into the community
Hampshire Probation Trust serves a population of about 1.7 million and we supervise in the region of 6,800 offenders each year.
HPT has approximately 700 staff based in over 30 offices, the Courts, Approved Premises (Hostels) and 5 prisons, and spends about £22 million a year to carry out its work
Hampshire staff are committed to working with offenders and all our partners from all backgrounds in a non discriminatory way. |
Judge For Yourself is an innovative on-line programme in which members of the public can decide what they think is the most suitable sentence for virtual offenders.
Strong community sentences are both an effective punishment and a means of reform and this tool can show the public what actually happened in these real life cases and demonstrate the benefits of different sentences for individual offenders.
