After working in the After Care Unit of Birmingham Probation Service, he obtained an M.Phil. in social work and social administration at the University of York.

Summary

This paper presents some of the results of a Home Office sponsored research project in which men discharged from prison were interviewed before and after release. The findings compare pre-arrest and post-release accommodation and demonstrate than many men are likely to be in poorer accommodation after release than they were before arrest.
