The first UK study to prove the link between housing,
on-going support and a reduction in re-offending
19 October 2012
Interserve and Vision Housing announced today the results of pioneering research, from Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). This is the first UK study to establish an evidential link between housing, on-going support and a reduction in re-offending. Some of the key findings are:
- 11 per cent reduction in re-offending (for those housed)
- 16 per cent reduction in re-offending for under-35’s
- 21 per cent reduction in re-offending for more serious offences
- 26 per cent reduction in re-offending rates for women
Across the UK, a lack of adequate housing provision is regularly cited as a factor in re-offending both for offenders leaving prison and those serving some form of community sentence. However, there is only limited research on the potential link between housing and re-offending and even less on the impact specific housing initiatives have on reducing re-offending. This study proves and quantifies the effect.
