AROUND 70% of people who received probation instead of a jail sentence did not reoffend within a year of receiving the order, a new study has shown.
Figures released by the CSO Re-Offending Statistics 2018 report (the latest stats available) indicate a consistent pattern of “reduction in re-offending rates of people under probation supervision since the tracking of re-offending rates began in 2008″.
Key stats from today’s report include:
There was a significant difference in the re-offending rates regionally ranging from just over a fifth (21%) in the Mid-East, consisting of Kildare, Louth, Meath, and Wicklow to just over a third (34%) in both the Mid-West and South-West regions (consisting of Clare, Limerick, Tipperary, Cork, and Kerry).
At county level Mayo (10%) and Roscommon (12%) had the lowest one-year re-offending rate while Tipperary (39%) had the highest reoffending levels from individuals issued with probation in 2018.
The Director of the Probation Service, Mark Wilson, welcomed today’s publication. He said he was happy to see the consistent reduction of re-offending rates among people under probation supervision.
“These findings demonstrate the efficacy of our work and indicate that our evidence-based supports and interventions continue to have a positive impact, both in terms of changing offending behaviour and improving community safety.
“The study also provides clarity about where continued focus is required. This includes prioritising our targeted interventions with young people and acknowledging the challenges of addressing offending behaviour in the first six months after an order is imposed,” he added.

Split kilkenny in 2
The cats are alive and well.Meow!!
@James Leahy: still NO all Ireland for kilkenny
@Alan Moloney: how would you know oh wise one?
Dublin were very poor today. Once Kk got their first goal it was curtains for Dublin. Dublin were lucky Kilkenny didn’t play to their full potential as they would have been absolutely destroyed. The result/score was bad enough but Dublin never got going apart from a few players like Eoghan O’Donnell and there was no fight or pride in them. It was absolutely shocking
@DJ D: They were absolutely destroyed
@another one? what’s going on is the semi state sec: I was referring to Kilkenny not playing to their true potential because if they had it would have been 30 or 40 points in the difference. You might understand now!!!
@DJ D: irrelevant comment….. “If Kilkenny played to their true potential”…… Dublin didn’t turn up! That comment might mean something if Dublin played their best. What if Dublin played to their true potential, it would have been less of a score difference.
@DJ D: Hard luck Mrs O’Donnell .
@Gerry Campbell: Gobshyte
Leinster hurling is just KK and Galway. This year Galway not really at the races and it shows because noone else can step up to challenge. Tomorrow is the real deal though
@FoxyBoiiYT: “Galway not at the races”?!?!? They played 3/4 of the game against Dublin with 14 men.
Dublin gave KK way too much space. There is no marking in the first half at times. Tougher test ahead.
Leinster championships in football and hurling are a complete joke
@Tim & Emer Brennan: You clearly don’t watch leinster hurling
@S K: sorry kilkenny don’t break sweat
Dubs been beaten by double scores for a change
A day Dublin will hopefully educate ourselves from , But what goes on tomorrow in simple will have another question. To ask ourselves
Why are Dublin so crap at Hurling?
have your say
