MAPPA Level 3 offenders: Reconviction as a measure of effectiveness

Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) provide a legislative framework for managing sexual and violent offenders in the community. Previous studies have examined this process; however, little is known about the offending behaviour of MAPPA cases during the first year of registration. This article explores this area and provides a detailed examination of reconviction amongst a cohort of MAPPA Level 3 cases. The implications of reconviction during MAPPA registration are also explored.
