A review of the use of offending behaviour programmes for people with mental health problems (12th November 2008)
Offending behaviour programmes (OBPs) aim to change the way offenders think in order to change their offending behaviour. This review finds that many programmes are poorly adapted to the needs of people with mental health problems and that they fail to address the most common causes of offending, such as lack of a home and lack of a job. The review calls for programmes to be made more accessible to prisoners with mental health problems and relevant to people's lives.
