Evaluating New Routes in Scotland
Overview
The Wise Group have commissioned the Fraser of Allander Institute to analyse the effectiveness of New Routes in reducing reoffending and reconviction in Scotland.
This research forms part of a 4-year partnership with the Wise Group, a social enterprise that aims to help people out of poverty through one-to-one mentoring schemes, offering holistic means for people to change their lives within justice, employment and energy.
The research will be separated into strands. A PhD programme within the University of Strathclyde’s Economics Department will provide a granular analysis of outcomes for those who take part in the New Routes programme, both in terms of reconvictions and wider outcomes.
