The funding for the project was awarded by the former Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (the Transformation Fund) to support the development of a creative music educational programme for older prisoners. Superact CIC and Live Music Now! have extensive experience of delivering music education programmes for prisoners. UWE was invited to provide research expertise in terms of developing and conducting the evaluation. The evaluation took a formative, qualitative approach to enable the creative music programme provided by Superact CIC to be evaluated from the points of view of prisoners across a range of establishments in the south west of England. This report describes the aims and objectives of the evaluation, provides an overview of the context, describes the methodology and fieldwork processes and reports on the findings. It is hoped that the information in the report can help inform future developments of creative arts programmes in this field. Details: Bristol, UK: University of West England, 2010. 101p.

Author: Roberts, Marion Title: Aspects of London's Evening and Night Time Economy: A report for the Mayor of London/GLA Summary: This research study provides a snapshot of London's evening and night-time economies. It scrutinises the regulatory policies of licensing and planning, investigates crime and anti-social behaviour and drills down into the economic contribution of night-time activities. The London Night Time Commission requested facts and findings rather than recommendations. This report, then, is unconventional in that it has many bullet points, notes and summaries and covers a range of different types of findings. The findings demonstrate many positive aspects of the evening and night-time economies. The economic contribution is a good news story, not only for the West End, but for the inner urban borough of Lambeth, too. Although all violent crime is to be abhorred, when crime figures are examined in detail for two 'hot spots', it would appear that the problems of crime associated with the night-time economy bear comparison with the daytime. At a policy level, in licensing and planning, there are statements to support night-time activities. The positive impacts of a vibrant nightlife can be seen in Brixton, where partnership working between the local authority, the police and other agencies has resulted in economic growth and support for diverse stakeholders and customers in the creative and hospitality sectors. This expansion demonstrates the potential that other boroughs could aspire to. On a more negative note, closer scrutiny within the hotspots illustrates how much more work needs to be put into licensing enforcement and policing if it is to work with the night-time economy rather than against it. Premises owners and managers have to cope with sometimes inconsistent and heavy-handed regulation, particularly where music and dancing are concerned. Running premises after midnight is particularly problematic. This fragility is amplified by development pressures, which come in different forms, from rent hikes to changes of use. Nevertheless, despite all these difficulties, there are examples of successful operations and imaginative entrepreneurs. London's evening and night-time economy is healthy but more nurturing and preventative measures are called for if it is to be sustained and allow opportunities to grow. The report is structured as follows: Section 1 provides an overview of key findings, followed by recommendations; Section 2 explains the sources of evidence; Sections 3-8 set out a study of policies and the economic performance of the evening and night-time economies (ENTE) in four boroughs (Croydon, Lambeth, Waltham Forest, Westminster). Sections 8, 9 & 10 investigate two ENTE 'hotspots', Brixton and Croydon town centres. Details: London: University of Westminster/Music Tank, 2017. 52p.
