Home - Revolving Doors Agency Your Rights as a Suspect of a Crime - About Human Rights Author: Liz Lennox - Updated: 6 September 2012| Comment The rights of suspects before, during and after arrest are the subject of endless volumes of case-law, articles and debate. The result is a situation where many people, by virtue of sensational media headlines, feel that the law is weighted too heavily in favour of criminals. As already said, the individual nuances of suspects rights are lengthy; far too detailed to go into in one page.

Probation officer job profile | Prospects.ac.uk Probation officers manage offenders in order to protect the public and reduce the incidence of reoffending. They work with offenders in courts, in the community and in custody to make communities safer. Probation officers interact with offenders, victims, police and prison service colleagues on a regular basis. They work closely with relevant statutory and voluntary agencies. In addition, probation officers manage and enforce the conditions of community orders. Recent changes to probation services in England and Wales have led to the creation of the National Probation Service (NPS), a statutory criminal justice service that supervises high-risk offenders released into the community, and 21 private sector community rehabilitation companies (CRCs) that manage low and medium-risk offenders. Scotland and Northern Ireland have separate criminal justice systems and different arrangements for the provision of probation services.
