Offender Health

Added on 06/01/2011

The development of alcohol interventions for offenders is a challenging area with implications for both health and criminal justice agencies. This policy paper published by the Centre for Mental Health draws on recent research in the South West and identifies areas and practical examples of how, in a changing and uncertain policy and commissioning landscape, the joint commissioning and delivery of alcohol interventions for offenders in the community can be productively developed.

A Label for Exclusion - support for alcohol-misusing offenders
This paper produced by the centre for mental health in collaboration with the South West region looks at how to improve the joint commissioning landscape for alcohol harm reduction in offender management....

The Alcohol Learning Centre aims to share resources on local alcohol improvement interventions nationally. The appropriateness of initiatives will vary from one local area to another and inclusion of local initiatives, or actions, on this site does not represent endorsement by the Alcohol Learning Centre or Department of Health. Wherever possible we have described the evidence on which interventions are based. We work with and are supported by the Department of Health (opens a new window).
