Summary

In this chapter we focus on the evaluation of offending behaviour programmes across both prison and probation. We start with a broad discussion of the emergence of ‘what works’, the risk, need and responsivity model and desistance and follow that by setting out the argument for the critical place of evaluation. We will outline some of the different evaluation methods which can be used to examine the effectiveness of programmes, as well as the key challenges frequently encountered in evaluating programmes in the criminal justice setting. Finally we review what the most recent evidence tells us about the effectiveness of programmes. Evaluating offending behaviour programmes is exciting and challenging and while the evidence is growing there remains an enduring need for us to put our energies into asking what works for whom, how and why - and growing our understanding of the wider context within which such interventions are most likely to make a positive difference.
