Active Learning Tool - reducing re-offending

Learning Toolkit Craig

Crime can have a devastating affect on the lives of victims, offenders, families, and on communities.

 

More than half of all crime is committed by people who have already been through the criminal justice system and costs society more than £11 billion a year.

 

We will follow the life of a rehabilitated offender, as told by himself.  Craig describes himself as a blueprint recidivist offender and asks

 

"What If?"  - Would the course of his life be any different if the right interventions had been made at the right time by the right intervention?

 

The tool demonstrates the crucial role of effective and integrated public service involvement in breaking the cycle of re-offending, the results of which      

are essential to building safer and more inclusive communities.

 

This tool is intended to increase awareness and encourage joint working to address the underlying causes of offending behaviour.  It is designed for practitioners, service users and policy officers who seek to address social exclusion and prevent offending and re-offending. 

 

Active Learning Tool

 

The objectives of the Reducing Re-offending Learning tool are:

 

  • To gain an understanding of the complexity around offending behaviour and the factors that can lead to offending and re-offending

 

  • To raise awareness of the range of agencies that contribute to the Reducing Re0offending Agenda

 

  • To reflect the work of a Unitary and two tier (County and District) approach to reducing re-offending

 

  • To highlight the range of factors that need to be addressed in order to break the cycle of offending behaviour, by giving examples of where interventions could prevent and reduce re-offending
