Key findings this quarter
One request is being published this quarter: The Clink (2017-2020).
The Clink
The Clink work with offenders who are within 6 to 18 months of the end of their custodial sentence. This is the fourth JDL evaluation for The Clink, looking at programme participants who were released from prison between 2017 and Q2 2020. The previous analysis was published in July 2019.
The overall results show that those who took part in The Clink intervention had a lower offending frequency compared to a matched comparison group. More people would be needed to determine the effect on the rate of reoffending and the time to first proven reoffence.
