National
The Annual probation caseload (court orders and pre and post release supervision) increased by 39% between 2000 and 2008 to 243,434. Since then the probation caseload has fallen year on year, reaching 217,359 at the end of 2014, down 1% from the previous year.
The Offender Rehabilitation Act 2014 (ORA) expanded licence supervision, so that anyone sentenced to more than one day in prison will receive at least 12 months supervision on release. This has affected the numbers of people now supervised by probation services.
Consequently this may have attributed to the national rise of the total probation caseload, which rose by 1% between March 2014 and March 2015.
Further key national statistics relating to offenders who are under probation services supervision or in prison can be found in the ministry of justice’s publication: Offender management statistics quarterly.
