Managing offenders and what works in Singapore: Ten Reintegration Assessment Predictors (T.R.A.P.)
This study indicated three other new factors that emerged with the additional 13 partic ipants, along with those seven different factors from the previous study that influenced the success of reintegration.

Safer Communities,Volume 15, Issue 4, October 2016. Purpose To explore the way in which responses to urban disorder have become part of the anti-social behaviour (ASB herein) toolkit following the 2011 disorders in England.

It is argued that the boundaries of what constitutes ASB, and the geographical scope of the new powers, are being expanded resulting in a more pronounced unevenness of behaviour-control mechanisms being deployed across the housing tenures. D esign/methodology/approach Using a qualitative res...
