Details

Under local integrated offender management (IOM) arrangements, the prolific and other priority offenders (PPO) approach will typically continue to provide the most intensive supervision of the offenders of most concern to local agencies and the communities they serve under its three strands:

• deter
• catch and convict
• rehabilitate and resettle

This ensures optimum collaborative arrangements between local agencies.

It is therefore important to recognise the role that the PPO approach can play in local areas’ crime and reducing reoffending strategies, targeting a distinct group of the most prolific offenders. This self-assessment tool has been produced alongside the IOM key principles document and self-assessment tool for local areas to be able to look in detail their approach to PPOs as part of their wider IOM arrangements.
