<p /> <p>The latest re-offending rates available were published on 30 October 2014
in the ‘Proven Re-offending Statistics Quarterly Bulletin’ at the link below: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/proven-reoffending-statistics-january-2012-to-december-2012"
target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/statistics/proven-reoffending-statistics-january-2012-to-december-2012</a></p><p>
</p><p>This gives re-offending figures for adult and juvenile offenders, including
those released from custody, between January and December 2012. The figures given
below are taken or derived from table 19a of this publication.</p><p> </p><p>For adult
offenders who were released from serving a custodial sentence of less than 12 months
in 2012 the proven re-offending rate was 57.6%, for those released from serving a
sentence of between 12 months and less than two years the proven re-offending rate
was 37.5%, and for those released from serving a sentence of two years or more (including
determinate and indeterminate sentences) the proven re-offending rate was 31.1%.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government is undertaking the Transforming Rehabilitation Reforms to reduce
re-offending, particularly among short-sentenced offenders. The Offender Rehabilitation
Act 2014, which received Royal Assent on 13 March will, once commenced, change the
law so that all offenders released from short prison sentences will receive 12 months
of supervision in the community.</p><p> </p><p>We will introduce the provisions of
the Act and transition services to new providers in line with the Government’s commitment
to complete these reforms by 2015.</p>
