Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

Combined authorities in England, such as Greater Manchester, have been granted more devolved roles in probation services, enabling localised approaches to rehabilitation and reoffending education. If such an arrangement is suitable for Manchester, surely a similar model could form a practical starting point for Wales, especially in the area of youth reoffending and justice.
