Key Points

To evaluate the long-term effects of different discharge routes on reconviction rates in a medium-secure cohort.
Longitudinal follow-up of reconviction rates over six years
Comparison of reconvictions between traditional and alternative discharge routes
Utilization of actuarial risk assessment for evaluation.
Conventional discharge methods led to significant reductions in reconvictions when compared to release from secure services
Actuarial assessments provided insights into public protection effectiveness

Implication

Long-term follow-up examines reconvictions post-discharge in a medium-secure cohort, suggesting implications for public safety.

Abstract

Prison discharge negated large reductions in reconvictions observed with alternative discharge routes. Actuarial risk assessment has a place in evaluating the effectiveness public protection provided by secure services.
