A Kaleidoscopic View of Motoring Offender Groups and ReconvictionIlona.Haslewood-Pocsik{at}crim.ox.ac.uk
Centre for Criminological Research and Probation Studies Unit, University of OxfordColin.Roberts{at}crim.ox.ac.uk The authors argue that intermediate measures used for gauging change in knowledge and attitudes in motoring offending groupwork programmes had connections with, but were not indicative of two-year general or motoring reconvictions. They also draw attention to the different profiles of various motoring offender samples, and highlight the importance of establishing reliable baseline reconviction information on offenders undergoing offence-specific groupwork programmes before setting reconviction targets. The results indicate the need to take a multi-dimensional view, and consider the same set of data from different angles.
