Revolution (Scheme for Prolific and Priority Offenders (PPOs)
PPOs are those individuals committing a high proportion of crime and causing the most harm to our local community.
PPO
It is estimated that out of a million active offenders in the UK, 100,000 offenders had three or more convictions and were responsible for half of all crime. The active offender population is not static, 20,000 individuals leave this pool every year and are replaced by another 20,000. The most active 5,000 of this group are estimated to be responsible for one in ten offences. The aim of the scheme is to tackle these offenders and in the long term significantly reduce overall levels of crime.
