Investigating Relationships between Youth Offending and Alternative Provision: Identified Protective and Risk Factors for Offending/Re-offending Based on ‘Type’ of AP and Duration in AP in England
Quasi-experimental analysis reveals factors influencing reoffending in youth exposed to alternative provision, suggesting implications for practice.
Key Points
Exposure to alternative provision correlates with patterns of youth offending, highlighting significant risk factors.
Initial findings indicate that reoffending is influenced by the type and duration of alternative provision, with varied impacts across different youth demographics.
Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, analysis compares youth in alternative provision versus mainstream education for offending likelihood.
Understanding spatial disparities in youth offending rates can inform targeted interventions within education and justice policy.
