Results for costs of crimes
3 results foundAuthor: Mulheirn, Ian Title: Prison Break: Tackling Recidivism, Reducing Costs Summary: Crime costs the UK 72 British pounds each year. The failure to crack re-offending among prisoners serving short-term sentences is a key driver of these costs. This report calls for a new approach to tackle re-offending with much less public money. Its recommendations include the following: splitting the short- and long-term prison populations to enable more accountabile rehabilitation of persistent offenders on short-term sentences, and contracting out end--to-end offender management for all sub-12-month offenders to regional providers paid by results to reduce recidivism.

Author: Matthew-Simmons, Francis Title: Estimating the street value of a cannabis plant in Australia Summary: We do not know the value of the cannabis market in Australia. ‘Per plant’ estimation of the street value of cannabis is a helpful measure – if we can derive an estimate of the value for one cannabis plant, then we can measure the value of a seizure of many plants; and estimate the overall value of the Australian market based on cannabis crops. The purpose of this bulletin is to provide estimates of the ‘street value’ of an individual indoor, hydroponic cannabis plant, taking street price and yield into consideration.

Author: Australia. Auditor General Title: Fraud Control Arrangements: Across Entities Summary: 1. Fraud against the Commonwealth is defined as 'dishonestly obtaining a benefit, or causing a loss, by deception or other means.' Fraud against the Commonwealth can be broadly categorised as being either external (fraud committed by clients or customers, service providers and members of the public) or internal (fraud committed by employees and contractors). In some cases, fraud against the Commonwealth may involve collusion between external and internal parties, which may not only result in loss for the Commonwealth, but may also involve corrupt conduct such as bribery and secret commissions. 2. The consequences of fraud against the Commonwealth include financial and material loss which can impact on the Australian Government's ability to deliver services and achieve its policy objectives. More broadly, fraud can result in reputational damage to government and responsible entities, and potential loss of confidence in Australian Government administration. 3. Fraud threats are ongoing and can affect any Australian Government entity. In 2010-11, external and internal fraud losses against the Commonwealth were estimated at $119 million. Approximately $116 million of these estimated losses related to external fraud, while some $3 million related to internal fraud. Details: Sydney: Australian National Audit Office, 2014. 120p.
