An interesting snippet from the weekend’s papers:
A project to cut the re-offending rate for criminals jailed for up to one year has cost £11 million and has, it was reported, been ‘disappointing’ and has had no impact on re-offending rates. Those targeted by the scheme have shown a 42.4% re-offending rate, against a rate of 41.6% for those not given this special help - £11 million for a worse result!
Some people seem unable to grasp the simple fact we face in court every day, you can’t force rehabilitation on those who don’t want to be rehabilitated.
