Prolific and priority offenders

Citysafe logo

Home Office work suggests that there are about one million active offenders in the general population at any one time.  Of these, around 100,000 will accumulate more than three convictions during their criminal careers and, although representing only 10% of active offenders, they commit at least 50% of all serious crime.

Over the next three years Citysafe intends to address prolific and priority offenders by:

  • Stopping people entering the pool of prolific offenders
  • Actively tackling those who are already prolific offenders
  • Working to increase the number of such offenders who stop offending by offering a range of supportive interventions.
