'What Works' in Policing: Managing Child Sex Offenders in the Community

This project aimed to provide a systematic review and synthesis of current empirical and practice literature on the management of individuals who sexually offend in the community, to identify ‘what works’, particularly with regard to community-based policing practices.

Impact

The review targeted risk assessment and management, intelligence, supervision and monitoring, situational management strategies, and prioritisation of resources to enhance community safety. It is expected that the findings will support current practice and identify new opportunities for innovation in the management of individuals convicted of sexual offending in the community.
