NI: Offenders managed through Public Protection Arrangements less likely to reoffend
Reading time: 1 minute
Offenders being managed through Public Protection Arrangements Northern Ireland (PPANI) have a significantly lower reoffending rate than offenders as a whole, a new report reveals.
Around 9.7 per cent of offenders subject to PPANI reoffended within the first year, compared with an overall reoffending rate of 17.9 per cent.
The figures are contained in a report published by the Department of Justice as the “first step” towards a full review of the PPANI arrangements introduced in 2008.
The multi-agency risk assessment and management process was introduced through the Criminal Justice Order (NI) 2008.
The report examines offending information relating to 1,293 offenders being managed through PPANI during September 2016 to improve co-ordination between the police, probation and others to manage certain sexual and violent offenders when they are released from prison.
