皇冠体育app study used propensity score matching to explore the impact of different community order requirements on the re-offending rate and frequency of re-offending within two years of the initial offence.
皇冠体育app analysis used data from the Offender Assessment System, probation and re-offending records and administrative data on employment and benefit receipt. 皇冠体育app study found no evidence to suggest that increasing the punitive element of community orders would have a detrimental effect on re-offending, for the combinations of requirements considered.
However, combining other types of requirement, such as supervision, with a punitive element, can increase the effectiveness of the community order.
