Defining and measuring intermediate outcomes to reduce reoffending and rehabilitate offenders Arts Alliance Annual Meeting Thursday 14 March 2013 Mike Maguire and Emma Disley Thursday 14 March 2013
We are conducting research into the ‘intermediate outcomes’ from arts programmes for offenders • These are things like various forms of psychological or emotional change, or improved in-prison behaviour which might indicate someone was on a journey towards desistancefrom crime. • NOMS has asked us to • Identify possible intermediate outcomes • Investigate whether these could be usefully put into toolkits for use by providers to capture the effects of their work
To answer these research questions we are asking providers • What do providers think are the effects or results of their programmes? • Can (and should) these effects be captured or measured? • What are the main barriers and facilitators to measurement? • Is there an appetite among providers to measure outcomes – to show commissioners or funders? First step in the research is to conduct interviews with arts organisations to discuss these questions
In this workshop we’d like to invite yourthoughts on… • What kinds of change are arts interventions (of different kinds) hoping to bring about in individuals? • By what mechanisms are these changes brought about? Is there a clear ‘theory of change’? • What are the barriers to measuring intermediate outcomes from arts programmes? What do you currently measure, and why?
