1. Supervision - Less criminal behaviour and a safer society
- That is the aim of the Dutch Probation Service

2. To do that,
we
supervise
suspects
and
offenders

3. How does supervision be the
Probation Service work?

4. The Judge or
Prosecutor
can impose
special
conditions to
an offender or
suspect as a
part of a
sentence

5. For instance the
offender must follow an
anti-agression training

6. Or is not
allowed to
drink

7. Or stay away from his
girlfriend

8. The Dutch Probation Service
supervises that the offender
complies with these
conditions

9. We check that through:
-home visits

10. -Interviews at our offices

11. -Alcohol and drug tests

12. -Electronic monitoring

13. We also support an offender
in his efforts to comply to
these conditions

14. We stimulate them for instance
to find a job

15. Or we organise the necessary
psychological help or debt
relieve

16. Supervision by the
Probation takes minimally
two years

17. Thereby we prevent that an
offender commits another
crime

18. And if an offender does not comply
to these conditions and does not
cooperate, there is always the
prison as last resort

19. This is how the Probation Service contributes to
a safer society
