Justice Data Lab re-offending analysis: NOMS CFO East Midlands Leicestershire & Rutland Probation Trust (delivered in custody)

This document describes an evaluation of a program in the East Midlands designed to assist offenders in finding employment and accessing services to reduce re-offending rates. The program, which targets individuals within three years of release and eligible to work in the UK, employs a case management model. Evaluation involved data processing for 451 offenders, with a matched control group for comparison. Results indicated a one-year proven re-offending rate of 62% for participants versus 61% for the control group, with a 95% confidence interval suggesting the difference in re-offending rates was inconclusive. The study faced limitations such as potential selection bias and insufficient data on individual characteristics, which could influence outcomes. The evaluation recommends larger sample sizes for future analyses and acknowledges the need for further research when more data is available. The document also provides a comparison of offender characteristics between the treatment and control groups, noting well-matched variables. Contact information for the Ministry of Justice and details on the Open Government License for document reuse are included. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
