Key findings this month
One request is being published this month:
The request is for the charity Working Chance, who support female offenders into paid and voluntary work with mainstream employers. This analysis focuses on those who found employment after receiving the recruitment service provided by Working Chance. This analysis indicates that there is currently insufficient evidence at this stage to draw a conclusion about the impact of finding employment through the recruitment service offered by Working Chance has on the 1 year proven reoffending rate. However, there was a statistically significant improvement in the frequency of reoffending.
The bulletin is produced and handled by the Ministry’s analytical professionals and production staff. Pre-release access of up to 24 hours is granted to the following persons: Ministry of Justice (MOJ) Secretary of State, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State - Minister for Prisons, Probation and Rehabilitation, Minister of State for Civil Justice (Lords Minister), Permanent Secretary, Director General of Strategy and Change, relevant Policy Advisers for reducing re-offending and rehabilitation policy, and relevant special advisors, press officers, and private secretaries.
The report is released by MOJ and produced in accordance with arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.
