The impact of corrections on re-offending: a review of ‘what works’
Number of pages:
13
ABSTRACT:
This paper looks in detail at a recent Home Office report on sentencing and correctional policies within the British criminal justice system. The authors of the report have focused on the practical aspect of such policies - "what works" - but have found their meta-analysis of current research studies hampered by a lack of cohesion in the research material available. The paper looks at these issues within the historical and sociological context of sentencing and correction in the UK. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
