Recommendation 16
16
Community Sentence Treatment Requirements offer effective alternative; require 100% coverage in court areas.
Conclusion
Evidence suggests that Community Sentence Treatment Requirements (CSTRs) can offer a credible and appropriate alternative to custody for women. The Committee welcomes the work being done to increase their use from what is a very low base through the CSTR Programme. The Ministry of Justice should now commit to rolling out the programme so that CSTRs are available in all court areas to achieve 100% coverage. (Paragraph 95) Better Custody
