Departments Strategic Priority To Reduce Re-Offending In The Correction Department

In this part discuss about the Departments strategic priority to reduce reoffending and how the Department has organised to meet this priority. Reduce re-offending 25% by 2017 is one of the primary goals of the Correction Department. The Department has a clear strategic priority to reduce re-offending. This programme is based on sound intervention logic that focus the groups and behaviours that contribute excessively to rates of offending. The Department now offers programmes to inmates on remand or short sentences who had high re-offending rates but who were previously ineligible for rehabilitation.
