answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2019 answer text <p>Reoffending is costing society approximately £15bn per year. It is only through a concerted effort across Government that we will be able to reduce reoffending.</p><p> </p><p>That is why we set up the Reducing Reoffending Board to identify how the Government can work more collaboratively in addressing the drivers of reoffending, and to consider innovative ways of addressing these drivers.</p><p> </p><p>We are looking particularly closely at what we can do to strengthen probation, which is responsible for managing and supporting offenders in the community to turn away from crime. I want to see a wider range of rehabilitative programmes on offer, so that offenders can be directed towards programmes that are targeted to their behaviour.</p><p> </p><p>For instance, we have found that our general offending behaviour programme can reduce violent reoffending by 17 percentage points.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 23/04/2019 16:42:03 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

tabling member constituency	Islwyn

uin	231443
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2019 answer text <p>The one year reoffending rates for prisoners released from sentences of less than six months will be published in the next quarterly proven reoffending bulletin on the 25th April.</p><p> </p><p>There is persuasive evidence showing community sentences, in certain circumstances, are more effective than short custodial sentences in reducing reoffending. The MoJ study ‘The impact of short custodial sentences, community orders and suspended sentence orders on re-offending’ published in 2015 found that over a 1-year follow up period, a higher proportion of people re-offended having been sentenced to custody of under 12 months without supervision on release than other similar people given community orders.</p><p> </p><p>The impact of short custodial sentences on women generally is particularly significant. Many are victims, as well as offenders, with almost 60% reporting experience of domestic abuse and many have mental health issues. We therefore set out our vision in the Female Offender Strategy published in June 2018, to see female offenders, particularly those with complex needs, dealt with in the community wherever possible.</p><p> </p><p>Unless we tackle the underlying causes of offending, we cannot protect the public from being victims of crime. Effective community orders can address offenders’ behaviour, answer their mental health and alcohol or drug misuse needs, and provide reparation for the benefit of the wider community.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 20/03/2019 16:52:38 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
