Justice Data Lab re-offending analysis: NOMS CFO North East Pertemps People Development Group (delivered during community sentences)

This document describes an evaluation of a program designed to help offenders in the North East of England find employment to reduce re-offending rates, using a case management model to address barriers such as training, housing, and substance abuse. The evaluation, conducted by the Justice Data Lab, analyzed data from 1,233 offenders who participated in the program in 2010, comparing their re-offending rates to a matched control group of 84,567 offender records. The results indicated a one-year re-offending rate of 36% for the program participants versus 42% for the control group, but with confidence intervals suggesting the difference may not be statistically significant. The analysis also accounted for potential selection bias and emphasized the importance of not comparing these rates to national averages due to the specific nature of the program participants. The evaluation recommended further analysis with larger sample sizes and additional years of data for more accurate estimates.
