Key findings this month
One request is being published this month. The request is being published for Women’s centres (information was supplied by 39 Women’s centres) throughout England, who provide a range of services and opportunities to women in the community, including those that have an offending history across the UK. This analysis indicates that there is a statistically significant reduction in the 1 year proven re-offending rate.
