We have extensive experience of working with offenders in order to understand more about their motivations, the way they think and behave and their views on reducing their offending.
This includes consultation in both community and custody with young and adult offenders. Some specific studies we have undertaken have sought the views of robbers, shoplifters, burglars, fraudsters, drug dealers, firearms offenders and gang members to mention just a few.
As part of our research and consultancy we can:
Review the extent and reach of integrated offender management locally
Identify gaps in partnership working
Highlight the availability of services for offenders linked to the pathways out of offending
Recommend cost-effective ways of improving integrated offender management, building on existing initiatives and national good practice.
By reviewing the good practice that can be drawn from schemes such as Integrated Offender Management and Prolific and Priority Offender schemes and applying the lessons learnt to the management of all offenders, local partners can reduce the cyclical nature of offending.
Perpetuity supported ten councils and their partners across Leicestershire, Leicester City and Rutland to test out ways of engaging local partners in offender management, with support from the National Offender Management Service.
Together we developed a toolkit which comprises two parts: a comprehensive guidance document complemented by a series of useful 'tools'. These are designed to help you put the theory into practice, and help newcomers find their way round the criminal justice system. The full toolkit is available via the Local Government East Midlands website (http://www.lg-em.gov.uk/pp/gold/viewGold.asp?IDType=Page&ID=15741).
As probation became a responsible authority on 1st April 2010 there is now an increased priority on addressing offending behaviour, and Community Safety Partnerships need to expand their remit to include reducing re-offending. Perpetuity are working with criminal justice and local authority partners to explore options for increased efficiency and effectiveness in the management of offenders - notably those not under formal or statutory supervision.
“We were very impressed by the quality of the work. It was a difficult task but Perpetuity stuck to it admirably and has produced a quality product”
Phil Hawkins Head of Youth Justice and Safer Communities Leicestershire County Council
We have extensive experience of working with offenders in order to understand more about their motivations, the ways they think and behave, how they minimise the risk of detection and the views on reducing their offending.
This includes interviews in both community and custody with young offenders, robbers, shoplifters, burglars, fraudsters, drug dealers, firearms offenders, gang members to mention just a few.
Clients benefit from our researchers’ excellent academic credentials, bringing rigorous research methodologies to their approach. This is combined with broad practical experience of working with those tackling crime prevention and security issues.
