The Intensive Supervision and Surveillance Programme (ISSP) is the
most robust community programme available for young
offenders in England and Wales. It is targeted at persistent young
offenders and those who have committed more serious
offences, and can be used on young people on community
sentences or on bail, or for those in the second part of a Detention
and Training Order (DTO). ISSP is multi-modal, including a variety of components such as assessment, close monitoring, education and training, tracking (regular contact),
tagging and restorative justice. It is also highly intensive, combining supervision with surveillance in an attempt to ensure programme completion, and to bring structure to young people’s lives. The goal is to ensure that the risks young offenders pose are managed, and that their needs are met and continually reassessed. (excerpt)

When victims, offenders, and community members meet to decide how to do that, the results are transformational.
