Resettlement programmes provide support for young offenders during their custodial sentence and for approximately nine months after release. This article describes how the costs and benefits of providing an effective service of this kind were estimated based on the ‘RESET’ programme, published evidence on the costs of crime and the likely reduction in offending due to an intensive support programme. The cost of crime has been estimated at £46,459 per year (after allowing for a reduction due to the time spent in custody), plus prison custody at an average of £30,475 and emergency accommodation at an average of £110, making a total of £78,040 for each offender. Using a fairly modest assumption that good support in resettlement could lead to approximately a 35% reduction in frequency and a 10% reduction in serious offending, a saving of £20,407 per offender per year could be achieved. These savings would more that offset the average cost of a good quality resettlement service of £8,074. The scheme would break even if the frequency of offending were reduced by only 20%.

The development of comprehensive local community services is patchy. If people with mental health problems are to receive appropriate and effective care, the resources need to be distributed differently, co-ordinated more effectively and focused on those with severe and long-term problems.

This booklet presents the findings from a variety of research on the views of young people, parents and victims concerning the youth justice system and interventions to reduce offending. The book looks at all aspects of the system, from diversionary activities, which young people rated highly as it gave them the chance to do things they had never done before, to the new community-based Intensive Supervision and Surveillance Programmes (ISSP) and their views of custody. The report underlines the Board’s concerns about the mental health needs of young people in the youth justice system.
