Our Research & Analysis Bulletins are aimed at all those with an interest in the quality of probation and youth justice services, presenting key findings to assist with informed debate and promote excellence in probation and youth justice services.
The bulletins present findings from analysis of our inspection data and from new primary research projects.
The focus in this bulletin has been upon the implementation and delivery of CRs by YOTs, building upon and confirming much of the limited previous research into CR delivery.
The focus in this bulletin is upon the assessment stage of youth justice work, recognising that it is vital to identify all potential safety concerns and sources of harm in order to mitigate and prevent any dangers.
People on probation are more likely to die from self-inflicted deaths and to present with risks associated with suicide and self-harm when compared to the broader population.
Knife crime has been labelled as an epidemic in the UK. This bulletin focuses on the findings from research which sought to identify and understand promising approaches to knife crime delivered by and with YOTs.
Trauma-informed practice originated in healthcare organisations but is now increasingly being adopted by a range of frontline services, including in the criminal justice system. This bulletin explores the experiences of staff working with trauma in adult probation.
The focus in this bulletin is upon the technical performance of the court disposals standards. Across these standards, we consider whether we are measuring discrete, coherent and critical aspects of delivery, supporting the accompanying inspection ratings.
Learn more about the quality of delivery of out-of-court disposals by Youth Offending Teams, including analysis of variations in quality and identification of enablers and barriers.
Learn about the significant benefits that multi-agency working can bring to youth offending teams, and more importantly to the individual children and to their parents and carers.
This bulletin examines the extent to which probation services have been meeting the expectations of the organisational-level standard on staffing (standard 1.2), as well as exploring the consequences and the prospects moving forward.
