Reoffenders
(asked on 24th February 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment has been made of reoffending rates for (1) ex-prisoners who have undertaken enterprise courses, and (2) those who have not.
This question was answered on 8th March 2017
Data published by my department on the impact of employment on reduced re-offending relies on data drawn together from across the Criminal Justice System, supplemented by data on the employment and benefit status of offenders from a data sharing agreement between MoJ, DWP and HMRC.
That data does not enable any comparative assessment of reoffending rates for ex-prisoners who have or have not undertaken enterprise courses.
