dc.description.abstract | This article explores the significance of consent to community sanctions and measures.
The value of consent derives from the principle of autonomy and rights to freedom
and dignity. While normally these are rights that should be upheld and defended, the
question is complicated in the case of penal sanctions. The account goes on to discuss
the necessary conditions for meaningful informed consent and to inquire into the extent
to which these conditions apply to community sentences. The origin of consent to the
probation order and other community penalties in England and Wales is outlined – the
reason why it was originally expected and why it was eventually abolished. Yet even
if consent is not formally required, there is reason to think that England and Wales is
an example of a country where in practice consent is actively sought. The relationship
between consent and compliance – and the distinct concept of active cooperation – is
discussed. It is concluded that a formal expression of consent in Court has symbolic
value, but does not resolve the challenge of trying to secure consent and cooperation
that must persist throughout the duration of the community order. | en |
