I’ve just come across this interesting idea (via the Guardian). Shows also that academic research can inform CJS decision making!

Discovering Desistance 
I read this too and it was really interesting and inspiring. It reminded of HOPE in Hawaii (https://www.crimesolutions.gov/ProgramDetails.aspx?ID=49) which Lawrence Sherman and Peter Neyroud have written about (http://www.civitas.org.uk/pdf/TheSwordofDamoclesApril12.pdf). It uses similar ideas of consistency of the judge and regular contact.
It also reminds me of drug courts here, where again there is much more direct, personal contact.
