Criminology, probation and stuff

The MoJ, along with all government organisations has today published its business plan. The Rehabilitation Revolution appears to be taking shape:

Create a system introducing greater involvement of the private and voluntary sectors in the rehabilitation of offenders, including use of payment by results, to cut reoffending

The Department will no longer…

…provide rehabilitation services directly without testing where voluntary or private sectors can provide it more effectively and efficiently

I was right.

Amused to note that the first action is already underway, but overdue:

Very interested to see what the Green Paper has in store.
