Description

Co-Designing and Testing a New Framework for Correctional Supervision. This project aims to investigate how we can reduce reoffending amongst people serving community sentences. It will design and test a novel supervision framework in the South Australian community corrections context. Significantly, and in a world first, it will engage end-users (people under supervision and correctional officers) to identify practices and mechanisms that most strongly support desistance from crime. This project will generate powerful new understandings of what drives sustained reductions in reoffending and will provide insights for correctional agencies to improve rehabilitative outcomes. A key benefit includes enhanced community safety via effective supervision of clients who have caused real harm to persons and property.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.
