  • ‘Inspiring Futures’ through positive transitions: How social impact measurement as a form of organizational performance management can enhance outcomes for young offenders.

    Claire’s research explores how social impact measurement as a form of organisational performance management can enhance outcomes for young people involved in the criminal justice system.

    The research project involves collaborating with a large national organisation in the youth justice sector to assess the impact of the organisation’s youth offending interventions. It will explore the recidivist behaviour of young people and the transitions to adulthood, specifically in relation to the development of a theory of change.
