Due to the increased involvement of service providers the DCS has succeeded in reaching 60 543 offenders, through work programmes, far exceeding the targeted 15 704. Although the 108 000 work opportunities targeted was exceeded by nearly 40 000, the report was unclear as to the types of work, and duration of the offenders involvement in such activity. The DCS clarified that the types of work activity varied, and that the figures quoted referred to every opportunity rather than every offender involved in a work activity.
