Crime is a complex issue and it demands comprehensive and complex solutions.  The National Probation Service (NPS) is a major component in reducing crime.

The 21,000 staff of the NPS, and their colleagues in other organisations who support their work, are committed to minimising the impact of crime on communities and especially victims who have been touched by serious violent or sexually violent crimes.  They are actively committed to rehabilitate offenders given community sentences and those released from prison; to enforce the conditions of their court orders and release licences and to take whatever steps in their power to protect the public.
