PROBATION SERVICE, INTELIGÊNCIA

Achieving greater compliance with community sentences and licences is an important Probation Service priority. Leigh Morris and Jonathan Mason use IQ test evidence to argue that supervision contracts may be too difficult for a significant proportion of offenders to understand, contributing to unnecessary breach. They present an example of a simplified probation contract, which they urge probation services to consider.
