How can we ensure better targeting of interventions within pre-sentence reports?
Background
We want to address the causes of reoffending using personalised evidence, live data, and digital services to better target and sequence interventions. To do this we need to build the evidence base that can inform the development of more holistic measures than ‘proven reoffending’, factoring in a broader range of outcomes.
Next steps
We can be contacted at the following email address: evidence_partnerships@justice.gov.uk.
