Abstract

Almost exactly two years after the publication of the Social Exclusion Unit's widely welcomed report Reducing reoffending by exprisoners (July 2002) the Home Office has published its response, the Reducing Reoffending Action Plan, setting out clear action points together with target dates for implementation. The SEU report provided an extremely comprehensive and useful analysis of the wide range of problems, which stand in the way of the successful reintegration of many prisoners into the community after release and which precipitate a pattern of reoffending. It painted a picture of a highly marginalised group of people facing a wide range of practical, health and emotional problems on release from prison without the skills or support necessary to navigate their way around the complex bureaucratic systems required to secure housing, training, employment, benefits and healthcare.
