What Works in Jersey: The First Ten Years

The Jersey probation service has been implementing
its own version of ‘what works’ for the last ten years.
This paper outlines the approach used, and
describes particular aspects of the development
process which are believed to have contributed to
relatively successful implementation. These include
comprehensive risk/need assessment; good use of
information; good communication; support from
sentencers and staff; and partnership with outside
bodies able to provide training, development and
research support.
