A significant proportion have also experienced serious and sustained violence or sexual violence either as adults or as children. While the number of women offenders in Northern Ireland is relatively small compared to the number of men, it is recognised that responding to women’s offending will have an impact on targets to reduce reoffending both now and in the future. The Inspire Women’s Project was established in Belfast on 27 October 2008. It aimed to ensure that gender specific provision was available for women offenders in Northern Ireland following increasing awareness that the needs of women and men in the criminal justice system are different and that equality of outcomes is not necessarily achieved by equality of treatment (Corston, 2007). This report presents the findings of the Evaluation of the Pilot Inspire Women’s Project. Details: London: London South Bank University, 2011. 111p.
