Housing/Accommodation

 

There would appear to be little research done on housing as it relates to offenders, although the issue is widely acknowledged to be of importance.  Some useful information and suggestions for further reading can be found in these documents from the Scottish Government:  

• Criminal Justice Accommodation Services: A review and consultation paper (Scottish Government, 2001)

• National Care Standards: Service for People in Criminal Justice Supported Accommodation (Scottish Government, 2002)   

Literature of interest includes:

• Housing for Offenders: The Role of ‘Understanding Relationships’ in Supporting People (Allen & Barkley, 2002)  
  

• Maintaining an Arm’s Length?  Housing, Community Governance and the Management of ‘Problematic’ Populations (Flint, 2006)   

• Accommodation for Ex-Prisoners in the South West Region (Maguire et al, 2007)
