question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 10 April to Question 239207 on the Answer of 9 May to Question 246971, how many offenders re-offended while being the subject of a community order; and how many offences of each type were committed by those offenders in each year since 2007.
tabling member constituency	Harborough
tabling member printed	Neil O'Brien
uin	263837
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2019 answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>We do not hold reoffending rates based on whether offenders are the subject of a community order but instead hold data based on those who have started a community order in a given period. As such, we cannot tell whether an offender is still subject to a community order at the time of their reoffence. Please see the available data in the table provided. 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 involved around 350,000 sentencing occasions over 4 years and used 130 different variables to construct matched groups of offenders and examine the effect of short sentences relative to community sentences. This study found a reduction of around 3 percentage points in proven reoffences if offenders receiving sentences of less than 12 months were to get a community order instead. This is statistically significant and equates to around 30,000 proven reoffences in total over a one-year period. This means fewer victims of crime. 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></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 17/06/2019 16:53:27 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland attachment 1 file name Copy of PQ 263837.xlsx title Table

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2019 answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>As with all prisoners, those serving Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentences are not refused access to offending behaviour courses based on their sentence type. We use risk, needs and responsivity principles to help us target the right programmes for the right people. This ensures that the level of support provided by a programme matches a person’s risk of reoffending and that the content covers the areas a person needs to address to reduce further offending. All prisoners, including those serving IPP sentences, have their suitability for any accredited programmes considered as part of their wider sentence plan. A wide range of accredited programmes are available in custody and these are refreshed annually based on prisoner needs and demand. IPPs are one of the groups prioritised for participation on suitable programmes. However, completion of accredited programmes is not a mandatory requirement in order for IPP prisoners to secure release. Information related to the number of offenders serving an IPP that have been referred, but not found suitable for courses could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 17/06/2019 16:54:06 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
