Saturation and Frustration

- Police, Corrections, and other social agencies (and those that pay for these services) are frustrated at their singular inability to affect permanent positive change with some groups of offenders (e.g. prolific repeat offenders)

Page 8: Crime Reduction Project Update: “Bridging the Gaps”

• Many of our social services are now “saturated” (e.g. overcrowded jails)

• We need to create better access to those non-police type services that disrupt offending by attacking risk/need factors

– Social Triage and Routing

Page 9: Crime Reduction Project Update: “Bridging the Gaps”

• THERE IS NO “NEW” MONEY, BUT WE ALREADY SPEND LOTS OF “OLD” MONEY!

Therefore we have to do things differently, but what is left to try?

Where do we start?
