3. Determining what Enforcement Action to Take

Introduction

This chapter provides guidelines to assist the probation officer with making decisions regarding the level of enforcement action to take in response to non-compliance.

Important:

• The principles of non-compliance and enforcement (chapter 1) must be considered when making any decision about enforcement action.
• When the offender is subject to more than one sentence/order, enforcement action must take account of the other sentence(s)/order(s).

References: For information on enforcement action relating to:

• community work (CW), see Volume 3A, Part VI Non-compliance and Enforcement, and
• community detention (CD), see Volume 3B, Part IV Non-compliance and Enforcement.
