Due to budget cuts, there are hefty waiting lists for people who have to perform community service. Probation Netherlands get that waiting lists are not eliminated and now a lot of people may not know today in an interview in Trouw. Within the statutory period started so late chairman Sjef van Gennip

According to him, everyone works themselves with Probation Netherlands’ a battle in the round ‘and’ reached the limit now. ” “The production is on the decline, as the pressure to keep the people just not full.”

The cause of the long waiting lists and the associated workload, according to Van Gennip twofold. “The demand for our products in the criminal justice system is significantly increased, but they have no money left.” This is intended to be cut in the supervision of the “community figures’, while there is in recent years invested in intensive supervision. “And now we’re back to square one because apparently there is no money. I find that unacceptable, “says Van Gennip

Van Gennip fears that the risk of recidivism and insecurity in society is increased by the lack of resources:.” If you agree with each other a few years ago that there should be an intensification of supervision because there are too many risks, then the reverse is also true. ”
