A lcohol and offendingYesNoIn our opinion alcoholwas a contributingfactor to the offence2713Alcohol taken accountof sufficiently in theassessment252Interventions toaddress alcohol usedelivered in line withsentence planobjectives1590 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45Number of Cases2.6. In 86% of cases, individuals were well prepared for the interventions delivered throughout theircommunity order or licence. In all but one relevant case the offender manager reviewed withthe individual work done in other parts of the order or licence, to reinforce learning and promotecontinued progress.2.7. To support and sustain their desistance from offending, almost all service users were informed ofrelevant local services and referred to these if appropriate.Practice illustration – Meeting diversity needs to reduce reoffending:Shaun had a long history of theft. He was well known to the service and was known to have literacy andnumeracy problems. He was felt to be vulnerable, due to his physical appearance and speech impediment.The offender manager took full account of these issues during assessment planning and this could be seenin the work undertaken. The offender’s family and agencies working with them were used to support Shaunthrough the order. He began to work with adult literacy services. While waiting to start work with the adultliteracy service, the offender manager met Shaun at the library to encourage him to read. Referrals were alsomade to alcohol services for counselling and Shaun became a regular at the local drop-in centre which improvedhis social integration. At the time of the inspection there was no record of any reoffending.2.8. We expect to see the assessment of the likelihood of reoffending reviewed thoroughly whenrequired, but this was done sufficiently in only just over half of the cases inspected. Eight cases hadnot been reviewed and in 30 cases the review was not sufficient.3. Likelihood of reoffending is reduced3.1. There was a sufficient record of progress made by the offender in two-thirds of cases. We inspectedcommunity orders or licences that commenced some nine months previously, providing anopportunity for the individual to have shown improvement in factors related to their offending if theplanned work was delivered.Inspection of Adult Offending Work in York and North Yorkshire27
Practice illustration – The desistance model in action:The offender manager working with Ryan carried out regular home visits to both inform his riskassessment and also to seek confirmation of the information he received from Ryan. Home visitswere used as an opportunity to talk with Ryan’s parents and to assess and develop this relationship as amechanism for supporting their son to make lifestyle changes to reduce his likelihood of reoffending. Thiswas done with the agreement of Ryan and his parents.3.2. In 11 cases, we found offenders had made good progress, with 16 showing some progress on themost significant factors. In nine cases we thought there had been insufficient progress on the mostsignificant factors for that individual, while in three cases there had been deterioration.3.3. As illustrated in the chart below, just over three-quarters of individuals had not been cautioned for,charged with, or convicted of a further offence during the period of supervision we inspected.Further offending committed since the start of the sentenceor release on licence18%Convicted2%4%CautionedOther disposal (SOPO,Restraining Order, PenaltyNotice, etc.)Charged76%None of the aboveOverall progress made in relation to factors identified as making theindividual more likely to reoffend8%Good progress on the most significantfactors28%23%Progress on some of the significantfactors, but not allInsufficient progress on the mostsignificant factorsEvidence of deterioration in relation to41%significant factors related to offending28Inspection of Adult Offending Work in York and North Yorkshire
