The primary aim of Community Justice Services is to help offenders address their offending behaviour and thus reduce the risk of re-offending. It provides the following services:

• Writing reports and providing assessments to help Sheriffs and Justices of the Peace to make sentencing decisions
• Supervising people placed on statutory orders, including Community Payback Orders, Drug Treatment Testing Orders, and Post Custody Supervision
• Providing a range of Unpaid Work Placements, for those sentenced to Unpaid Work
• Supervision of High Risk Offenders as part of Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA)
• A Women’s Team delivering a service for women who have committed offenses
• A Tayside-wide service for Registered Sex Offenders delivering programme work
• Staff who offer throughcare on a voluntary basis to those leaving prison after shorter sentences
• A service co-located with health staff, police (offender management unit) and voluntary sector.

As part of Dundee City Council, Community Justice Services is a partner within the Dundee Community Justice Partnership, which seeks to tackle the causes of offending and reoffending.
