Two evaluations of arrest referral schemes

Abstract

This article summarises two evaluations of arrest referral schemes in a county force where support services are offered as an alternative to case disposal under the criminal justice system. Random samples of individuals who had accessed the schemes were selected for analysis. Strong success was indicated in the drug arrest referral scheme evaluation and the alcohol arrest referral project received a positive outcome.
