The trial has been designed to compare the relative effectiveness and cost benefit of police prosecuting low harm offenders with a treatment, a "turning point contract", which combines a deferred prosecution with a set of conditions agreed with the offender, which are intended to support desistance. The 2 groups - control (prosecuted) and treatment (Turning Point) are allocated by random assignment by the Cambridge Gateway. The trial will be evaluated by comparing the control and treatment groups against their outcomes for prevalence and seriousness of offending and the cost-benefit of the two interventions. The trial, which has been implemented in stages, commencing in November 2011, is intended to run in the four Birmingham Local Policing Areas until Summer 2013. The research is part of a wider programme focused on reducing crime harm supported by the Monument Trust. This paper presents an interim report, describing the setting up of the trial and some emerging findings from the research.
