Offender Management Act 2007

Offender

The Offender Management Act aims to reduce reoffending and better protect the public by improving the way in which offenders are managed.


In particular, the Act seeks to remove the public sector monopoly on the provision of probation services and enable the Secretary of State to commission services from the best available provider in the public, private or voluntary sector.

The Act, supporting documents and progress through parliament are published on the UK Parliament website.

The Offender Management Act received Royal Assent on 26 July 2007.
