David Simpson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by David Simpson on 2016-02-11.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much her Department has spent on reducing reoffending in each of the last three years.

Mike Penning

The Home Office makes an important contribution to the Government’s commitment to reduce re-offending to cut crime and make our streets safer. Integrated Offender Management provides a framework for the police working with other agencies to prevent some of the most prolific and problematic offenders from committing further crime.

Operational policing matters are the responsibility of Chief Constables in conjunction with their Police and Crime Commissioners. The Home Office does not, however, provide specific funding for this, over and above overall central Government funding provided to the police.
