Integrated Offender Management

Integrated Offender Management in England and Wales: the Views of Professional Practitioners in a Local Scheme

Lawrence Burke, from the Liverpool John Moores university, made a contribution to the 2012 Annual Conference of the European Society of Criminology, in the category “Punishment and its alternatives,” under the title “Integrated Offender Management in England and Wales: the Views of Professional Practitioners in a Local Scheme”. Here is the abstract: Integrated offender management (IOM) provides a framework under which local partners including probation and police work together to manage those offenders identified as causing most harm in their communities (MoJ, 2012). It specifically focuses on those individuals serving less than 12 month prison sentences and therefore not subject to statutory supervision. In this paper the findings from a small research project into the management and delivery of IOM in a small local authority borough in the North West of England are discussed. The views of the key partner operational representatives will be presented in terms of the level of understanding and appreciation of the schemes aims and the challenges of working in a multi-agency setting.[rtbs name=”criminology”]
