This Government is committed to reducing crime and protecting the public by tackling reoffending. Over the last 10 years, there has been a broad decline in overall reoffending rates. We will invest £200 million a year by 2024-25 to further reduce reoffending and cut crime.<\/p>
We will improve prison leaver\u2019s access to accommodation by providing temporary accommodation for prison leavers through our new Community Accommodation Service.<\/p>
Our Prisoner Education Service will focus on improving numeracy, literacy and the qualifications that increase prisoners\u2019 prospects of finding work on their release. There are now 23 Employment Hubs, \u2018job-centres in a prison\u2019, that are directly supporting prisoners into jobs on release.<\/p>
We will also introduce new personalised Resettlement Passports, bringing together the key information and services that an individual needs to resettle into society.<\/p>
Our reforms to the Probation Service, supported by additional annual funding of £155 million, will help reduce reoffending through robust supervision, tougher community sentences, improved local partnership working and delivery of rehabilitative services.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4495", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kit Malthouse"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North West Hampshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Kit Malthouse"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-02-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-02-08T16:22:05.673Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-02-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Reoffenders"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent progress he has made on reducing rates of reoffending.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4750", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jane Stevenson"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wolverhampton North East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jane Stevenson"} ], "uin" : "905513"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1420675", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1420675/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
