National Standards for the Management of Offenders

The National Standards for the Management of Offenders are guidelines that outline best practices for supervising offenders in the community or in custody. They aim to ensure consistent, fair, and effective management to promote public safety, reduce reoffending, and support offenders' rehabilitation. These standards cover areas like assessment, risk management, accountability, and tailored interventions, providing a framework for authorities to deliver professional and ethical offender management while balancing community safety with offenders' needs.
