Abstract: Previous studies of deaths of offenders have usually focussed on deaths in prison. This study looks at all violent deaths of offenders under the supervision of the criminal justice system, both those in custody and those under the supervision of the National Probation Service (UK). The report also raises issues about the role that drugs and/or alcohol play in violent deaths, especially among community offenders.
