An Exploratory Evaluation of Restorative Justice Schemes
This report presents the results of a 15-month study of the effectiveness of restorative justice schemes conducted between July 1999 and November 2000. The principal fieldwork was undertaken between December 1999 and June 2000 in seven restorative justice schemes across England, two of them dealing principally with adult offenders and the other five with juveniles.
Working their way out of offending
It's a well-established fact that offenders face a high risk of unemployment on leaving prison. There is evidence that having a conviction makes access to some forms of employment very difficult. This report examines the effect that employment on release has on reconviction rates by examining two schemes - ASSET in Inner London, and Springboard in Surrey.
Crimestoppers Evaluation
The Home Office has published a briefing note that assesses Crimestoppers contribution to the detection, investigation and prosecution of crimes, attempts to quantify the inputs, outputs, outcomes and cost effectiveness of the scheme and identifies areas where the performance of Crimestoppers might be improved.
Evaluation of 2 "Boot Camps"
The aim of this research was to evaluate two intensive regimes for young offenders, one serving the North of England (Thorn Cross High Intensity Training or HIT centre) and the other serving the South (Colchester Military Corrective Training Centre or MCTC).
Witness Protection, Collective Harassment and Anti-social Behaviour Orders
Home Office Circular 29/2001: Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001: Measures to deal with Intimidation or Harming Witnesses and with Collective Harassment.
This circular draws attention to new provisions for the protection of witnesses and protection from collective harassment which came into force from 1 August 2001.
Keeping your child safe on the Internet
In March 2001 the Task Force on Child Protection on the Internet was established by the Home Office. It is a unique partnership of Government, industry, police and charitable organisations working together to tackle the danger posed to children by online paedophiles.
Stranger and Acquaintance Violence: Practice Messages from the British Crime Survey
This briefing note has been produced as an intended guide for local police and crime reduction partnerships on national patterns of stranger and acquaintance violence. This will enable comparisons to be made in local experiences, and inform on future priority setting for analysis and crime reduction initiatives.
The Victim's Charter
The 1996 Victim's Charter sets out the 27 standards of service that victims or their families can expect from the criminal justice agencies. It also explains how they can complain if the standards are not met.
Electronic monitoring of released prisoners: an evaluation of the Home Detention Curfew Scheme
The Home Detention Curfew scheme was introduced on 28 January 1999 across the whole of England and Wales. Most prisoners sentenced to at least three months but less than four years are eligible for release up to 60 days early on an electronically monitored curfew provided that they pass a risk assessment and have a suitable address.
