Reducing Re-offending – What Works
QUALITY ENGAGEMENT WITH OFFENDERS• Taking time to listen• Giving focus to practical and social problems as well as attitudes,
thinking and behaviour• Expressing and encouraging motivation and hope• Recognising offenders’ strengths and resources and building on existing
supports• Giving practical assistance in problem solving – not simply solving the
problem• Setting goals collaboratively• Having and sharing good knowledge of all available resources to refer
offenders to.
