E-petition: Don't privatize the probation service

Privatisation of the Probation Service and 'payment by results' is unlikely to work in reality.

Many offenders will not be supported to make the necessary changes in their lives, as the 'results' will not be overt. Privatisation of a service such as this can cause a lot of harm, especially if it is money orientated, true and accurate 'results' may not be reflected in reality. Businesses want to make profits, not losses.

Low to medium risk offenders can turn into high risk offenders overnight. People working with offenders should be well trained and skilled professionals.



(I was shocked to learn that this was even being considered. What could possibly go wrong??!)

1. Jesus Fuck! We need to nationalize every god damn business in the country

that's the only way we will get rid of the fucking money race. Law enforcement, education, transportation., health should NEVER be privatized
