Key findings this quarter
One request is being published this quarter: The Greater Manchester ICO programme (2015-2016).
The Greater Manchester ICO programme (2015-2016)
The ICO programme works with young male offenders, who have received community orders in place of short custodial sentences. This is the second JDL evaluation for the ICO programme; the first analysis looked at programme participants between 2013 and 2015.
The results show that more people would need to have completed the programme and be available for analysis in order to determine the way in which the programme affects a person’s reoffending behaviour, but this should not be taken to mean that the programme fails to affect reoffending behaviour.
