Justice Data Lab re-offending analysis: Shelter - HMP Leeds
This document describes an evaluation of the effectiveness of Shelter's Prison Housing Advice Service in Yorkshire and Humberside, aimed at assisting offenders with housing-related issues upon release. The evaluation used data analysis and a control group comparison to assess the impact of the service on re-offending rates. Results indicated that offenders who received advice had a re-offending rate of 79%, compared to 70% for those in the control group. However, the evaluation acknowledges limitations such as potential selection bias, lack of information on homelessness status, and the exclusion of some offenders from the analysis. The study emphasizes that re-offending rates should not be compared to national averages due to differences in intervention assessments. Statistical testing showed that the treatment and control groups were well-matched across various characteristics, with most differences being minimal. The document, which falls under the Open Government License, also provides contact information for further inquiries. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
