ASB Research Project

This research project led by Melanie Smith explores the drivers of tenant reoffending in the context of changing policies and strategies. The study employs a mixed methodology, combining quantitative analysis of tenancy breaches with qualitative insights from enforcement officers and legal staff. Key findings reveal reoffender profiles, the impact of witness support, and community responsibilities in ensuring safety. The report will provide valuable tools and insights aimed at mitigating reoffending behaviors, with results expected in early Autumn 2011.
