Results for priority offenders
3 results foundAuthor: Feasey, Simon Title: An Evaluation of the Sheffield PPO Premium Service Summary: The aims of this evaluation were to: Undertake a needs and service assessment for Prolific and Priority Offenders in the Sheffield District; Identify gaps and obstacles to the provision of an integrated framework of delivery that supports the development of the Premium Service; Examine opportunities for the greater alignment of early interventions (Catch and Convict) with Rehabilitate and Resettle (R&R) and provide recommendations to enhance the governance, management and delivery of the PPO programme. Within the overall research aims a number of key research questions were identified: How effective are the selection and de-selection processes and to what extent do they reflect policing and community safety priorities? How do early interventions relate to R&R processes and what developments are required to improve an integrated approach? In terms of responding to the criminogenic needs of the PPOs, what are the gaps in service availability and delivery and how can this be addressed? What lessons can be learnt from the research of other PPO programmes previously undertaken and how might these be applied to the Sheffield context? How do PPO's experience their engagement with the programme and does this indicate specific areas of service delivery development? What strengths and areas of development are identified by partner agencies? What strengths and areas of development are identified by practice staff working directly with PPOs?

Author: Feasey, Simon Title: The Wakefield District Prolific and Priority Offender Needs Analysis and Business Case ; Final Report Summary: The Hallam Centre for Community Justice (HCCJ) at Sheffield Hallam University was commissioned by the Wakefield District Community Safety Partnership (WDCSP) to undertake a needs analysis of the Wakefield Prolific and Priority Offender Scheme (Rehabilitate & Resettle) and to develop a business case incorporating proposals and recommendations with regard to the future management and delivery of the scheme. The specified aims of this project were to: • undertake a needs and service assessment for Prolific and Priority Offenders (PPOs) in the Wakefield District • facilitate and develop a partnership business case for a pilot to enhance the existing approach for PPOs, in particular around the rehabilitate and resettle agenda • provide recommendations for the development of rehabilitate and resettlement services more generally The Home Office Development and Practice Report 46 ("Early Findings from the Prolific and Other Priority Offenders Evaluation") indicated that nationally early results from the PPO programmes were promising; significant reductions in reconvictions, the development of more intensive packages of intervention, benefits associated with partnership working and data sharing were all identified as positive indicators of effectiveness. However it is also apparent that programme implementation and development has varied considerably both at a regional and local level and final conclusions about best practice models have not been reached. The final report of the Home Office evaluation was published in February 2007 and includes useful recommendations drawn from empirical data but it is also apparent that local implementation needs to be defined by the specific and particular needs of local PPOs, the nature of existing collaborative partnerships and the capacity and capability of agencies to respond to the seven key pathways identified within the Reducing Re-offending Action Plan 2005. This research project investigates the local circumstances that pertain to the management of PPOs within the Wakefield District Community Safety Partnership and subsequently makes recommendations and proposals to support the development of a pilot which will enable best practice to become embedded within the rehabilitate and resettle agenda. It is anticipated that the research and subsequent preferred model of delivery will additionally provide good practice guidelines which can contribute to the improvement of generic rehabilitation and resettlement across the district.
