The Initial Transitional Support (ITS) service
Authors:
Mark V.A. Howard and Ofir Thaler
Abstract:
Administered by Corrective Services New South Wales (CSNSW) since 2014, the ITS funds non-government partners to deliver reintegration support services to people under community supervision. The ITS prioritises service delivery to higher risk parolees who have recently been released from custody, although there is also scope to provide support to people serving community-based orders. This report outlines a program of studies that evaluated both impacts and processes associated with the service. An initial evaluation examined how participation in the ITS impacts reoffending and return to custody outcomes. Subsequent studies provided context to the impact evaluation by exploring service delivery outcomes and implementation processes underlying participation in the service. We conclude by reflecting on implications of the series of studies on best practice for the ITS and reintegration programs in general.
