Ministry of Justice written question – answered at on 10 March 2022.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many offenders imprisoned for acquisitive offences and subsequently released on license went on to commit further offences in each of the last ten years.
The information requested is not held centrally and could not be collated without incurring disproportionate cost.
The Prisons Strategy White Paper, published in December 2021, sets out this Government’s ambitious plans to reduce reoffending and protect the public. We will spend £200 million a year by 2024-25 to improve prison leavers’ access to accommodation, employment support and substance misuse treatment and further measures for early intervention to tackle youth offending.
Our world- first Acquisitive Crime project imposes electronic trail monitoring on robbers, thieves and burglars who have to wear a GPS tag when they leave prison. The project now covers half of England and Wales and is testing the effectiveness of this technology to support probation supervision and the police to investigate further offences, we have undertaken to publish findings from the project evaluation.
