Title: An Evaluation of the Prolific and Priority Offender Scheme in Four London Boroughs

Summary: This report presents the findings of a qualitative study of 37 Prolific and Other Priority Offenders (PPOs) and 18 practitioners working with PPOs in four London boroughs. The research has been commissioned by London Probation with funding from Government Office for London to examine good practice in each of the four schemes and to provide information to CDRPs within London about the ways in which the PPO scheme has an impact on the PPOs behaviour and attitude to offending. This study is intended to compliment the recent national evaluation of the PPO scheme which indicated that PPOs on the scheme had significantly reduced their offending when compared to a non-PPO cohort. The first section of this report describes the background to the PPO scheme in England and Wales, the national PPO cohort and some of the findings of a recent evaluation of the national PPO scheme. It then goes on to review some of the literature associated with re-offending and desistance and a review of some of the good practice in relation to initiatives and practices with prolific offenders.
