Payback with a Purpose discusses the experience of practitioners in delivering more meaningful "community payback" ("community service" in the USA) in New York City. The paper identifies nine key principles for effective community payback. The paper also relates the New York experience of opening out the delivery of community payback to non-state providers, something which has begun to happen in England and Wales. This publication was supported by the Hadley Trust, the Esmee Fairbairn Trust, the Monument Trust, and the Barrow Cadbury Trust.
