<p>We want to cut reoffending, cut crime and make our streets safer. That is why we
need a new emphasis in prisons on rehabilitation and redemption. Prisons should be
places of hard work, rigorous education and high ambition so offenders get the skills
to make a success of life on the outside.</p><p> </p><p>Data on the reoffending rates
for men and women leaving prison in England and Wales up to 2012 can be found in the
publication Women in the Criminal Justice System Chapter 8, table 8.10.</p><p> </p><p>Data
for 2013 will be included when this publication will be updated in due course.</p><p>

</p><p> </p><p>Overall reoffending rates (for men and women) and overall reoffending
rates for those leaving prison can be found in the latest quarterly data publication.</p><p>

</p><p> </p><p>In the quarterly proven re-offending statistics, a proven re-offence
is defined as any offence committed in a one year follow-up period that leads to a
court conviction, caution, reprimand or warning in the one year follow-up or within
a further six month waiting period to allow the offence to be proven in court.</p>
