INTRODUCTION
Offender management implies as how prisoner’s time in jail is managed, the main purpose of the
offender management is to rehabilitate the prisoner so that they can change themselves or not can
give up on their criminal mind-set. offender manager’s task is to set the goal for the prisoner or
to enable them to accomplish during their punishment, so that they will less offend in the future
(Lantz, 2020). offender management in custody understood as a model which is implemented
for coordinating the prisoner’s journey during the custody so that they will change and return
back to the community. This report covers the case study about the Terrence murrell, it describes
the theories of punishment and reason for custodial punishment, it further involves the analysis
of organisation who involve in offender management, effectiveness of offender management,
sentence plan examples, interpretation of the reoffending rates of custodial and community
sentences.
MAIN BODY
1.Theories of punishment:
Punishment are said to be deterrent when the person presents the futility of the crime. The
theories related to punishment are as follows:
Retribution:
It is the first punishment form which involves “Eye for an Eye” idea, it gives the level of
satisfaction to the society in which they feel that the prisoner is getting punishment for the crime
they did. Lawmakers face the job as to find the appropriate level of the punishment for the
punisher, which ranges from the charge of fine amounts to the jail sentence.
Rehabilitation:
Main aim of the rehabilitation is to prevent the future crime, in which the offender manager sets
the goals for then prisoner so that they learn or adapt the good or right things or to quit the
crimes. in which the various programs has been offered to the prisoner in prison, which involves
as the educational and mental health process. therefore its main aim of providing the
rehabilitation to the prisoner to reduce the crimes in the society (Link and Lösel, 2021).

18104797
Incapacitation:
It is the ancient approach which define as to remove the crime committed person from the
society. it involves the incarceration in house arrest, many believes that in such there is no
rehabilitation. in which the punishment is given to the offender so that future generation will
understand and do not follow the path of crime in future.
Restoration:
This theory define as in which the criminal justice calls the offender to directly amend the
victim, and to the community where the crime has occurred. In this the offender listen to the
victim as what they are thinking about the crime then offender seeks for the forgiveness,
Rationale for the custodial and community sentences:
Community sentences are the collectively criminal justice which involves the court to punish the
crime committed person, so that no other can commit the crime in the society. Custodial sentence
is the judicial sentence, which involves the imposing the punishment that includes the convict
custody. The main reason of the custodial sentencing and community sentencing is that to give
the chance to the offender to amend the victim of their crime.
community sentencing involves:
For the offender to serve the community such as cleaning, charity work. Meeting with the
probation officer for the hearing process, in which their attitudes and behaviour are analysed. if
the offender is doing great and making changes in themselves than their punishment will reduce
by the community court (Canton, 2020).
The main reason is to give the punishment to the offender so that they did not repeat their
actions again, also to give the lesson to the communal people so that they did not dare to commit
the crime in the future.
2. Analysation of how organisation manage the offender in the community:
The main aim of both government and non government organisation is to prevent the crime in
the society or to make the people in the community to live without fear of crime. as the role of
the government organisation is to provide the police, national judicial system or the social
services to the victim of crime. It is the best approach given by the government to empower the

18104797
victims. People have given the right to make the report for the person who commit crime with
them, then the action is taken by the government organisation to caught the offender and to
proceed with legal activities for the offender.
Non government organisation are the independent non profit group also called as the civil
society, their main aim is to protect the rights for the humans, and serve the social justice. They
cooperate with the criminal justice process to report the offender who commit crime, they help
the government organisation in finding the crime pursuit and also they show their contribution
the criminal procedures for the particular offender (Aharoni, Kleider‐Offutt and Brosnan, 2020).
As for the case study of the Terrence Murrell in his case the government sentence him for two
years jails but he runs away and later found in the Bali Indonesia, in his case the British
Government police took the permission to bring the Terrence Murrell from Bali, Indonesia to the
UK to serve his time back in the prison. therefore, Government organisation did their work
properly to manage the offender and bring him back to serve his sentenced jail.
Both non government and government organisation work together in order to protect the
environment by any vulnerable process. Non government organisation such as NGO they helps
the government organisation to find the offender in the society if the offender has done small
crime so that NGO firm will take the permission from the Government organisation and begin
with the rehabilitation process for the Criminal. So that the offender will learn and acquire the
knowledge so that they do not commit the crime in future. NGO are consider as the partner form
to the government to account the issues which is consider as the human rights, also they have the
right in the criminal procedure for the offender. They are promoting the development in the
society or to make the community safe from any crime, also provides the lessons or knowledge
to the communal people so that they can not commit the crime in the future.
3. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the offender management in the community:
Main aspect of the Offender management is to assign the goals for the prisoner or crime
committer so that they bring improvement in them. They provide the set of activities so that the
prisoner learns the good things and go back to their society with good intentions. role of
community offender manager is to check out the person along with the risks and the requirement
convictions. It helps them to plan for the person as how their sentence would proceed and also

18104797
decides the essential interventions. Necessary interventions can be the different programme
which can help them to think uniquely. They also analyse as how the person during the
convictions procedures make their own adjustments which is required when the situation
changes. The role of offender manager in the imposing of the community order to the person are
as follows:
 To develop the more discipline and the manner in the person to behave good during the
conviction process.
 Make improvement in the Prisoner so that they does not look as a anti social.
 To manage the risks which can be offered by the prisoner through a conviction that can
help to reduce the probability of the serious harm.
Offender manager also provide the good values to the crime committed person in the organising
cost and order running cost (Corda and Lageson, 2020).
Offender manager enable the person to think about the things which triggered them to
commit the crime at first place also help them to analyse the factor which might induce them to
commit the crime again. It involves the discussion about the money, accommodations, so that
person think well and proceed to the right path and follow all the activities which is suggested by
the offender manager so that they can quit their criminal mind set and go back to their
community. Job role of the Offender manager is diverse as it vary from different case to case,
and prepares the resources accordingly so that they will provide the rehabilitation process to the
prisoner and bring them back to the right track as to prevent the crimes in the community. As for
the Terrence Murrell case the approaches can be done by the offender manager is related to the
drug treatment as he found guilty in supplying the drugs. therefore offender manager plays an
important role to help the community by offering better services also they shows their major
contribution towards decreasing the crimes from the community (Kim, 2017). The case manager
are likely to provide the supervision to the offender in their whole rehabilitation or the probation
period. Also offender manager asked the person during the conviction process as they might
reduce the chances of reoffend. therefore Offend manager helps the person to improve in
themselves as to live the life in a good manner by quitting the crime.

4. Example of sentence plan and its importance
The sentence plan is the key tool in order to identify what an offender will do during their
sentence, based upon an assessment of the factors that are associated with their offending in
order to achieve the aims of the sentence (O’Meara and et.al., 2019). This is highly beneficial in
order to reduce the likelihood of reoffending and in custodial cases, promoting resettlement. In
accordance with the case study of Terrence Murrell it has been identified that the court is
required to prepare two principle decisions such as the type of sentence and its length or whether
it is case of fine of any amount. The court will initially insiders the following factors such as the
seriousness of the offence which was greatly serious in context of Terrence. There offence was
not at all committed for bail, and he was subject to recall to prison or serving a community
sentence will basically highly relevant as aggravating their offence.
This specific information may reveal underlying issues such as drug problem which had
been generated within this specific case. The court considers the range of sentence as
recommended by the sentencing guidelines, and then have regard to the details of each offence in
order to assess its seriousness. This includes assessment the aggravating and mitigating features
of the offence. Any hostility which is based upon the religion, racial, disability, sexuality, etc.
demonstrated in the commission of the offence will be considered as an aggravating feature.
The basic purpose of sentence planning is to provide the offender a kind of structure of
time into prison and set targets in order to achieve by them with an aim to reduce the likelihood
of getting into trouble in the future. People just like Terrence Murrell came into prison with lots
of different life experiences and will have to committed with variety of offences for diversified
reasons (Schaefer and Williamson, 2018). However, with the exploration of certain pathways,
and providing them additional support in the areas of identified needs, they are most likely to
help in order to avoid offending again in the future terms. It is greatly significant to reduce the
chances of reoffending and sometimes promote resettlement but in the cases of drugs just like
Terrence Murrell, the chances of resettlement are not at all permissible by the court.
This plan further important in order to reduce the risks of serious harm the offender
poses, specially for the ones who are subject to be extended determinate sentence as they have
received this sentence based upon assessment of their crime dangerousness.

5. Interpretation of re-offending rates of custodial and community sentences along with data
analysis against the effectiveness of offender management
Re-offending refers to the statement when someone is cautioned and given a final
warning or a conviction that does not involve the prison or even discharged from prison and their
records monitored over a year will be considered under this category. Any offence that has been
committed by the offenders within the year is counted as a proven offence. In context of
Terrence Murrell, it was their mistake that her flew from the UK on the day he was to be
sentenced. He had previously admitted conspiracy to supply a controlled drug and possession
with intent to supply, for his parts in drugs gang that imported raw material of steroids from
China.
Offenders who had served a custodial sentence had a higher re-offending rates which is
around 50% than those of the served community orders whose rates are just 35% while the
sentence orders rates are 30% (Lamph and et.al., 2020). There was even huge difference in re-
offending rates in cases which are related to the short term custodial sentences and short term

18104797
community orders and SSO's. Policymakers are always looking for various ways to reduce the
number of people who reoffend. For example, It is not possible to compare the reoffending rates
of people who serve community sentences with those for people who serves prison sentences.
These are diversified sorts of people and when it comes to their likelihood of re-offending, their
varying characteristics might be playing more of a role than the type of sentence they are given.
The overall proven re-offending rate was 26% from October to December 2019, offender
cohort. These shows decrease in decrease of 2% points from the same quarter in 2018. Offender
cohort continues to overlap with the primary step of national lock down restrictions that was
implemented over the period of March 2020 (Kewley and Blandford, 2017). Limits towards the
court actions led to sharp decline in number of cases that are possesses at the criminal courts
between March to may 2020. On the other hand, more recent figures shows signs of recovery
specifically in the outstanding caseload and court timeliness performances. The statistics more
marked downward trend in the re-offending rates amongst offender cohorts that highly effected
by the impacts of pandemic. It represents the largest decline with year over year since the same
quarter in 2008. The trends and frequency rates are widely reflected in separate figures for adults
and juvilians.
6. The effectiveness and management of Terrance Murrell in custody
Within the UK the prisoners are divided into varied categories on the basis of providing
them security. Each prisoner is assigned a category, depending on the crime that had been
committed by them. The sentence, the risk of escape and violent tendencies. Such as in the case
of Terrance Murrell it had been identified that was sentenced to jail for 3 years because of their
involvement in drug matters. Apart from this crime, he flew away from the jail. Due to this he
was sentenced to 4 months extra for fleeing Britain to the island of Bali. The categories are
classified into single letters such as A for most secure and D for least. The three different kinds
of prison services in UK and separate services are Crown dependencies, Majesty's prison
services that manages prison in England and Wales and also served as the National offender
management services (Smith and Gray, 2019). Prisons in Scotland are managed by the Scottish
prison service and prisons in North Ireland are managed by Northern Ireland prison service.

18104797
After the actions that had been performed by the Terrance Murrell, the prison category in
which he was sentenced was A category. Because he was highly dangerous as he escaped form
the jail and might create difficult situations to public as well as national security. Hence, after
grabbing him, back from Bali, the maximum security conditions were required for him. This is
the category which includes restricted status activities such as drug related issues, murder, armed
robbery, wounding with intent, kidnapping, etc. He was under the closed prison and also listed in
the prisoner's Escape list. Thus, he was required to wear distinctive and bright coloured clothing
while moving out or inside of the prison and are also handcuffed. In addition to that, they are
required to be change their cells on constant basis and to have their clothes along with some of
their personal property removed from their cell before being locked into the prison for the night
(Birkett, 2019). Thus, in order to manage such kind of prisoners, appropriate offender
management are greatly beneficial as it includes the roles that are related to the job role which is
significant in order to achieve successful rehabilitation. Hence, offender management system
consists of computerized case file system utilized by the Prison Reform Trust in order to manage
information in electronic manner and with completion of detailed records. The complete system
helps to gather information and retrieves back in order top track offenders. This is the way
through which the Prison reform trust do search the Terrance Murrell and grab him back to the
prison (Fellowes, 2018).
CONCLUSION
From the above report it has been concluded that offender management or offender manager is
greatly accountable for assessing the person with a convictions risks and requirements, plan for
their sentence that should be run or deciding on the basis of necessary interventions. The above
study was based upon the case study of Terrence Murrell through which various aspects of the
offender management had been discussed and elaborated in detailed manner. It greatly helped in
order to identify various systems and procedures that are required to be considered and fulfilled
by each and every court in order to go with certain pre determined procedures. Apart from this,

18104797
the data or statistics also had been evaluated with the help of completion of the above
represented report.
