The Act charged the chief officer of police and the then local probation board for each area to assess and manage the risk posed by these offenders. Home Office guidance (2001) encouraged a widening of this partnership, so that a number of statutory and voluntary agencies would assist in this process. Later, the Prison Service joined the Police and Probation Service as the ‘responsible authority’ for MAPPA under the Criminal Justice Act 2003. The MAPPA process involves an assessment of risk posed by an offender, upon which a risk management plan is subsequently based. This can include, for example, setting appropriate licence conditions, applying for Sexual Offences Prevention Orders (SOPOs), or identifying accommodation within local authority housing. Offenders posing the highest risk are referred to a Multi-Agency Public Protection panel meeting, a forum in which the offender’s risk and management plan can be discussed in detail with the participating agencies. MAPPA evolved from professional practice during the 1990s in dealing with dangerous offenders. The emergence of Public Protection Panels (PPPs) and multi-agency work to manage registered sexual offenders (following the Sex Offenders Act 1997) was central to this evolution and, accordingly, much of the work focused on sexual offenders. The Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000 sought to standardise this existing multi-agency work and provided the opportunity to widen the scope to include non-sexual violent offenders. There have been three key process evaluations of MAPPA (Maguire et al, 2001 Kemshall et al, 2005; and Wood and Kemshall, 2007). These illustrated improving standards and greater consistency of MAPPA during its early implementation. Data on Serious Further Offences, breaches and recall are provided in the MAPPA annual reports (see Ministry of Justice 2010b) but are difficult to compare over time, and date back only to 2005/6. This piece of research aimed to address this knowledge gap. It has explored whether reconviction rates of ‘MAPPA-eligible’ offenders released from custody into the community changed in England and Wales since the introduction of MAPPA in 2001.

Author: Dicker, James Title: Payment-by-Outcome in Offender Management Summary: Half of adult prisoners released in England and Wales between January and March 2008 were reconvicted within 12 months of release. This appalling figure is behind the Government’s drive to implement payment-by-outcome in this area. Through analysis of pilots and proposals, this case study explores some of the tools that have been used to overcome the challenges in moving towards paying providers for reductions in re-offending rates.

Author: London Criminal Justice Partnership Title: An evaluation of the Diamond Initiative: year two findings Summary: This report presents the findings of a two-year evaluation of the London Diamond Initiative (DI). It presents insights into both the implementation and the impact of the DI - a multi-agency offender management approach aimed at reducing reoffending among key groups of offenders in some of London’s most challenging areas. The report sets out to capture the learning generated over the course of the scheme and to contribute to the evidence-base available for policy makers and practitioners to develop and deliver effective offender management within London and beyond.

Author: Boorman, Richard Title: Prisoners' criminal backgrounds and proven re-offending after release: results from the Surveying Prisoner Crime Reduction (SPCR) survey Summary: This paper complements the range of Surveying Prisoner Crime Reduction (SPCR) papers already published, based on a longitudinal cohort study of up to 3,849 prisoners sentenced in England and Wales in 2005 and 2006. Other papers focused on the SPCR prisoners’ childhood circumstances and backgrounds prior to custody including education, employment and accommodation, and demonstrated how many of these factors were associated with re-offending on release from prison. This paper is important to set these findings in context as this research confirms previous studies which have shown that previous offending is the factor most strongly associated with further re-offending, when all factors are considered together. The aims of this report were to: explore the relationship between previous offending and re-offending for the SPCR cohort; validate these findings alongside published National Statistics; and, explore the relationship between self-reported re-offending from the survey and proven re-offending from Police National Computer (PNC) records.

Author: Ipsos MORI Title: Evaluation of the London Youth Reducing Reoffending Programme (Daedalus) - Emerging Findings Summary: The London Youth Reducing Reoffending Programme (Daedalus) (LYRRP (Daedalus)) aims to support young people due to be released from custody by moving them into sustainable education, training or employment and to ensure that they have suitable accommodation upon release. Offering such support is expected to lead to better re-integration into their communities and access to mainstream and specialist support services; and consequently a reduction in youth re-offending rates and serious youth violence in London. The London Criminal Justice Partnership (London CJP) has commissioned Ipsos MORI to evaluate the LYRRP (Daedalus). The research aims to identify the means to which the enhanced resettlement programme which commences within the Heron Unit, at Feltham YOI, and offers continued support in the community by the Resettlement Brokers, contributes to a reduction in re-offending and addresses the risk factors associated with offending behaviour. This report covers some of the emerging findings from the evaluation, with a specific focus on the experiences of young people. The interim evaluation report due in late 2010 will cover in detail the process of the programme (set up and delivery) as well as building on the findings around the experiences of – and outcomes for – the young people. The final report is due in March 2012, and will include a reconviction study and a cost benefit analysis. Details: London: Ipsos MORI, 2010. 27p.
