The Coalition on Social and Criminal Justice is comprised of a number of public and voluntary organisations working to reduce crime. In this document it gives guidance on the ways in which local councils, health services, the police and probation service, Job Centre Plus, housing associations and the voluntary sector can work together to provide the continuous and consistent management that offenders need.  It asserts that most work to reduce re-offending and protect public safety must be delivered locally, through community links and networks. It stresses the opportunities provided by the new local delivery landscape emerging around Local Area Agreements and Local Strategic Partnerships. Case studies from existing projects involving local organisations and local councils are included.
