tabling member constituency	Shipley
tabling member printed	Philip Davies
uin	162027
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2018 answer text <p>The effectiveness of community sentences compared to prison sentences has been measured by comparing the reoffending outcomes of offenders receiving prison sentences with those of similar offenders who received community sentences. The similarity of offenders is based on available offender demographics, criminal history, risk assessment and management data, and tax and benefit data. More details are provided in chapter 3 of the Ministry of Justice study ‘The impact of short custodial sentences, community orders and suspended sentence orders on re-offending’ published in 2015:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/399389/impact-of-short-custodial-sentences-on-reoffending.PDF" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/399389/impact-of-short-custodial-sentences-on-reoffending.PDF</a></p><p> </p><p>The study used propensity score matching (PSM) to create a counter-factual group, which enabled the outcomes of offenders receiving particular requirements to be compared to outcomes of similar (matched) offenders who did not receive them, and therefore the effect of the requirements to be estimated.</p><p> </p><p>PSM aims to account for all sources of variation between the treatment and control group except for the intervention itself, meaning that any differences in their outcomes should be the result of the intervention.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 18/07/2018 12:43:07 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

uin	161527
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2018 answer text <p>There is persuasive evidence that short custodial sentences do not work in terms of rehabilitation and that community sentences, in certain circumstances, are more effective in reducing reoffending, and therefore keeping the public safe. 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 a term of imprisonment of under 12 months without supervision on release than other similar people given community orders (around 3 percentage points).</p><p> </p><p>From centrally held data it is not possible to separately identify how many community or equivalent orders each offender sent to prison in each of the last three years for less than 12 months had previously been given, without incurring disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 17/07/2018 13:55:27 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart previous answer version 69801 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
