Abstract

Probation provision is complex, with a range of providers dealing with diverse service users and performing differing functions. In consequence, a range of outcome measures are required which can: (i) be tailored to the type of provision, making them as meaningful as possible for each provider; and (ii) produce a more complete and nuanced picture, helping to overcome the limitations of each measure on its own.
