Offender Management

Integrated Offender Management brings a cross-agency response to the crime and reoffending threats faced by local communities. Collectively the partners of the Pennine CSP manage the most persistent and problematic offenders. This is a collective responsibility underpinned by comprehensive evidence and intelligence which identify a wide range of rehabilitative interventions able to support offenders’ away from crime.

Our approach locally ensures that offenders of concern remain on our radar, even if not subject to statutory supervision, through probation for example, or where a period of statutory supervision has come to an end.  It also allows us to quickly identify and respond where individuals do slip back into risk taking or criminal behaviour mitigating the risk of multiple offences.

Collectively partners in Pennine prioritise an offer that works with offenders whom carry risks in relation to violence, domestic violence and acquisitive crime, the latter being the group name for offences such as burglary, vehicle crime or theft offences. We work with voluntary, and community organisations to ensure a holistic approach to supporting individuals. This includes utilising volunteers and mentors to assist offenders with their rehabilitation in the community.

Our “pathway” support ensures that the most appropriate intervention and service is available to address the causes of the individual’s offending and in turn support them towards getting out of a life of crime and becoming a productive member of society.

The eight pathways we have support available for are:

• Drugs
• Alcohol
• Accommodation
• Children and families
• Finance, benefit and debt
• Mental and physical health
• Attitudes, thinking and behaviour
• Education, training and employment

We also have bespoke support available for women across all of these pathways supported by specialist voluntary and community organisations.
