Under the probation of Offender Act pre-sentence report is _______.
Answer: C
Under the Probation of Offenders Act a pre-sentence report is preferable, as in the key. The Act requires the court to consider the report of the probation officer, if there is one, before making an order, so the report is not compulsory in every case but the court is expected to call for it.
It is not mandatory, since the law says 'if any' and the court can proceed without it. It is not optional in the sense that the court may ignore it, and it is not unnecessary, because probation depends on the facts of the offender's character and surroundings that the report gives.
