Changing public attitudes to crime and punishment — Building confidence in community penalties

Rob Allen

King's College London, rob.allen{at}kcl.ac.uk

This article analyses lessons from a range of initiatives aimed at increasing public and sentencers' confidence in community sentences over the last five years. In particular it addresses the question of what more could be done to boost confidence in a way which contributes more directly to the replacement of short terms of imprisonment by community sentences.

Key Words: community penalties • influencing sentencers • public attitudes
