Details

To better understand the needs of offenders who receive custody and community disposals, to inform the evidence base for reforming short custodial sentences this ad hoc statistical release publishes management information from the Offender Assessment System (OASys).

This information informs readers of any differences in identified needs of offenders serving both shorter and longer custodial sentences, as well as community orders. In the short term the evidence informs the development of policy to reform short custodial sentences. This information will be beneficial for the development of policies around managing offenders, both in and out of custody.
