Justice Data Lab analysis: Re-offending Behaviour After Support from Turning Point

This document describes an evaluation of the impact of Turning Point's intervention on reoffending rates among male offenders sentenced to less than 12 months in parts of London. The intervention aimed to reduce reoffending by providing support through a key worker and collaborating with various service providers. The evaluation used data submitted to the Justice Data Lab and controlled for demographics, criminal history, and other factors. Results indicated no significant differences in reoffending rates, frequencies, or time to first reoffense between the treatment group and matched comparison groups, although participants who reoffended committed fewer triable-either-way offenses. The evaluation also noted that a significant portion of data did not meet analysis criteria, resulting in a smaller sample size. The document includes detailed results, profiles of the treatment group, and matching quality, and is released under the Open Government Licence. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
