The Offender Management Act 2007

The Offender Management Act 2007 is a UK law that reorganized how offenders are managed and supervised. It established the framework for supervising prisoners serving long sentences and introduced structured programs to help offenders reintegrate into society. The Act created the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), responsible for overseeing offender management across England and Wales. It aims to reduce reoffending through closer coordination of prison, probation, and rehabilitation services, ensuring offenders receive appropriate support and supervision during and after their sentences, ultimately enhancing public safety.
