Chief Inspector of Probation says the part-privatised service is failing offenders and victims alike.

She also outlines what she regards as key failings including:

:: A lack of judicial confidence in probation and community punishments may be leading to more custodial sentences in borderline cases.:: Eight out of 10 private Community Rehabilitation Companies inspected since January last year were rated"inadequate" for implementation and delivery of probation supervision, while the public sector National Probation Service is performing better overall.

She said victims, judges, the public and offenders must all have confidence in the quality of the service.Prisons and probation minister Rory Stewart said the report"redoubles my determination to continue working towards a probation service that puts public protection first, commands the confidence of the courts and breaks the cycle of reoffending".
