本文探讨三个问题。首先，它考虑谁做，应该确定缓刑服务的需求;第二，为什么缓刑服务的需求和供应的模式是因为它目前是;最后，它考虑如何未来的需求和缓刑服务的供应可能会改变。作者认为，低风险罪犯的缓刑案件量的“淤积”是已经过度紧张的劳动力的一个主要问题，并建议采取一些措施来解决这个问题，包括社区服务的“上调”，更多地使用恢复性司法方法，更有效的战略，告知法官他们的判决决定的影响，以及更多地依赖经济处罚的回归。
This article explores three questions. First, it considers who does and should determine the demand for probation services; second, why the pattern for the demand and supply of probation services is as it currently is; and finally, it considers how the future demand and supply of probation services might be altered. The author argues that the ‘silting up’ of probation caseloads with low risk offenders is a major problem for an already over-stretched workforce and suggests a number of measures which could be taken to address this problem–these include the ‘up-tariffing’ of community service, more use of restorative justice approaches, a more effective strategy to inform sentencers of the effects their sentencing decisions are having, and a return to a greater reliance on financial penalties.
