We will tackle reoffending. By
We will tackle reoffending. By 2007 every offender will be supervised
after release; we will increase the use of electronic tagging; and we will
test the use of compulsory lie detector tests to monitor convicted sex
offenders. Our new National Offender Management Service will ensure
that every offender is individually case-managed from beginning to end
of their sentence, both in and out of custody – with increased effort targeted
on drugs treatment, education and basic skills training to reduce
reoffending. Voluntary organisations and the private sector will be
offered greater opportunities to deliver offender services and we will
give local people a greater say in shaping community punishment.
