Impact of community-based drug and alcohol treatment on reoffending
This experimental statistical report contains initial findings from a project that has linked data from the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS) held by Public Health England (PHE) with data on offenders held by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ). The aim of this report is to improve the evidence base of the links between community-based treatment for substance misuse and changes in re-offending. This report contains initial findings from analysing the final matched dataset to support policy development and is intended to demonstrate the potential utility in linking treatment and offending data. These experimental statistics will be published alongside Proven reoffending statistics quarterly: January to December 2015.
