Summary:
This research was commissioned by the YJB and carried out by Opinion Research Services
The key aim of this study is to consider the following questions:
1. Are participants on the ECM project more or less likely to reoffend than those in the control group?
2. Is repeat reoffending lower or higher for those on the ECM project compared to the control group?
3. Is the severity of the offences committed by those who did reoffend from the ECM programme different to those in the control group?
