Abstract
Abstract: This article explores whether the introduction of accredited programmes into probation through the ‘What Works’ policy has changed the positioning of community punishment and community rehabilitation orders in the sentencing tariff. In addition to arguing that the two orders have become virtually indistinguishable and thus equal on the sentencing tariff, it also explores the more controversial view that probation supervision is, in reality, more onerous and has therefore overtaken community service in the sentencing tariff. The article concludes by questioning whether this equality was intentional, with reference to the new community order with requirements, as outlined in the Criminal Justice Act 2003.
