Delivering better housing and employment outcomes for offenders on probation
Nicholas Pleace and Jon Minton
This research examined the delivery of suitable settled accommodation and paid employment for offenders on probation. The study explored good practice in counteracting homelessness and in helping offenders on probation into paid work, including the roles of education and training services and Jobcentre Plus.
The research had a particular concern with the sharing of personal and sensitive information about offenders between organisations. Those practices and processes that facilitated and inhibited the proper sharing of information were a key focus of the research.
The study involved fieldwork in six probation areas, a national level conference and consultation event and a small number of interviews with strategic level staff in central government.
