These projects harness knowledge of ‘what works’ in other probation areas and districts within West Yorkshire. The ‘SMARTstarts conditions pilot’ is one such project aimed at making the processes from order commencement to programme start ‘smarter’ and more efficient in order to increase the number of offenders starting programmes. At the point of commissioning this work, the main premise was that the sooner an offender can be offered a start date, the more likely they are to start the programme attached to their order, thus targeting starts whilst their motivation is likely to be high. Since then, other subsidiary aims have come to light such as identifying a clearly defined process, and identifying and removing barriers to programme starts. However, this piece of work did not set out to evaluate these. A ‘Process Summary Chart’ (see appendix 1) detailing these new processes has been piloted in Bradford and Calderdale from 30th June to 22nd September 2003. The chart is designed around a National Probation Service target of getting offenders from order commencement to programme start within 20 working days. The programmes included in the pilot are: Enhanced Thinking Skills (ETS), Drink Impaired Drivers (DID), Addressing Substance Related Offending (ASRO), and Duluth Domestic Violence (DV). The overall intention is for the processes to be rolled out to the remaining districts within the area over the next few months.

Author: Public Safety Canada. National Crime Prevention Centre Title: Results from the Stop Now and Plan (SNAP) Program Summary: Stop Now and Plan (SNAP) is a community-based program for children (under the age of twelve) who have come into contact, or are at risk of coming into contact, with the criminal justice system, and who display early signs of anti-social or aggressive behaviour. The program uses a cognitive-behavioural, multicomponent approach to decrease the risks of children engaging in future delinquent behaviour. The SNAP model is based on a comprehensive framework for effectively teaching children with serious behavioural problems, emotional regulation, self-control and problem-solving skills. Parents also learn SNAP skills, as well as cognitive behavioural parenting techniques. Children learn how to stop and think in order to find solutions to resolve their problems. Although there is evidence regarding the effectiveness of SNAP in Canadian contexts (within accredited mental health centres), further evaluation is needed to assess the impact the program has in a variety of community-based organizations across Canada. This summary provides an overview of the multi-site impact evaluation of SNAP that is being funded by the National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC). Details: Ottawa: Public Safety Canada, 2013. 8p.
