- Title

- Authors
Tariq, Aisha; Ali Khan, Muhammad Mumtaz
- Abstract
Probation as a form of sentencing aims to focus on the rehabilitative requirements of the offender, the protection of the society and the interests of the victim. The probation orders, in Pakistan, generally fall short of these three elements. This paper maintains that there are several statutory and administrative factors responsible for the failure of probation as a non-custodial sentencing mechanism in Pakistan. The original reformation centric sentencing system of probation will remain aimless if substantial statutory and administrative amendments and improvements would not be made. This is the time to revisit the structure of policy relating to the system of punishment through probation.
