Delivering Interventions

Interventions is where National Offender Management Service addresses offending behaviour.  Interventions covers three main aspects of this:

1. punishment (Community Payback, Attendance Centre and curfew orders)
2. rehabilitation (programmes)
3. public protection (electric monitoring, approved premises and programmes for sex offenders and high risk offenders)

In order for re-offending to be reduced, it is necessary for different interventions to be put in place together.

'What Works' is an evidence based approach that the National Offender Management Service have used since 1998.  Recent evidence shows that when interventions are used to address a range of offending-related needs, they can result in reduced re-offending rates which is one of the National Offender Management Service's main aims.
