Preston Nightsafe Conditional Caution Alcohol Awareness Pilot Project - Process Evaluation Final Report (30th June 2008)
Alcohol misuse has been identified as a prominent cause of health inequalities, crime and social disorder in Preston. To address these harms, to reduce future re-offending and to reduce health and criminal justice costs there have been strong recommendations for the wider availability of alcohol brief interventions. The Conditional Cautioning scheme utilises a rehabilitative condition that seeks to divert alcohol‐related offenders from ‘more serious alcohol related crime’ and Preston is one of a small number of chosen pilot areas around the country where alcohol conditional cautioning has been implemented. This report is the external evaluation of the process of alcohol conditional cautioning as determined through in depth interviews with key staff and stakeholders associated with the scheme. The main objectives of the process evaluation are to determine perceptions of success related to staff attitudes, public and victim satisfaction and re‐offending, to examine the effectiveness of interagency working relationships and communication, to identify barriers to implementation and delivery and to pinpoint areas for future development or improvement. Empirical data will be reported as outcomes which will be given in the final outcome evaluation report in July 2008.
