Publisher's Synopsis
The Criminal Justice Act 1991 radically restructured the sentencing framework within which sentencing courts work. These major changes have given increased emphasis to community sentences, which are made in the form of one or more community orders.;This book provides a straightforward and accessible guide to these orders, which will be of value to solicitors, probation officers and others working within the criminal justice system.;The book deals with the relevant statutory and common law rules which relate to the making, management and termination of community orders and contains relevant statutory provisions and delegated legislation. The new Home Office National Standards relevant to the management and enforcement of such orders are also extracted. In addition, the book goes beyond examination of relevant rules to consider how powers should be used and the practical problems that may arise. In particular, the book deals with the revocations of such orders, proceedings for breach and the legal and practice issues which such proceedings raise.
