Mr Mark Wolski introduced the section on Substance Misuse and Reduction of Reoffending.

The meeting heard:

·         Police, when coming across a re-offender, would often focus on taking remedial action, but needed to consider more data overlap to see why a re-offence had taken place and if the right pathways had been provided, such as to education and housing.

·         The data for an individual re-offending was always reliant on self-reporting and this needed to be considered.
