Research 2010 Crime & Ex-service Personnel .pdf (application/pdf Object)
This is a well considered piece of research explaining why so many Military Veterans are ending up in the Justice System; it is clearly a complex issue. Critically, having risked their lives for their country, under the Military Covenant they and their families deserve better - an alternative to Custody and Probation that will also reduce the likelihood of future re-offending. Will we take on this responsibility? A new partnership is attempting to do so, but still requires support - http://www.lifechangeuk.com/supporting-the-military-covenant/ can you help?
Reducing re-offending and social exclusion through innovative training; promoting increased understanding, personal change and skill sets necessary when working with marginalised groups, challenging behaviour and poor motivation. Promoting public debate surrounding the reduction of crime and re-offending, particularly former military veteran offenders. Engaging society and encouraging greater understanding and responsibility.

Reducing Re-offending - The need for Change
eGov monitor - A Policy Dialogue Platform | Promoting Better Governance
In a time of enormous financial austerity, this article again reminds us of the financial and human costs of short term prison sentences and the urgent need for change and a move to community based alternatives. Will the Justice Minister be given the support to implement the necessary changes that he once advocated?
