Only 64% of this group described themselves as parents. 9 The Jigsaw project adopted a new client record-keeping system partway through the project's existence and it is not possible to identify whether the first database duplicates records for individuals also contained in the second database (ie: whether some existing clients returned to the project). If all initial clients returned to the project, then Jigsaw worked with 146 individuals, if none of them did, then it worked with 199. 10 20 families. 11 Drugaid clients 12 Percentage of those referred into the projects. 13 2% of clients were recorded as completing the intervention, another 16% 'agreed to end the support'. IMPACT FINDINGS EPIP project staff reported that the implementation of the programme helped to increase both strategic and operational awareness of the 'hidden harm agenda'; increased practitioner knowledge about substance misuse and health and also impacted positively upon the work of Social Services. In terms of the different impacts that each model of working had: Model 1: Low intensity, primary substance misuse focus (Drugaid) Whilst model 1 provided clients with an opportunity to improve their communication skills with their child(ren), there was little direct focus on family functioning. With no project contact with the children, there was no evidence of any positive impact upon child welfare (indeed, the project made some referrals into Social Services). This treatment service approach paid most direct attention to substance misuse-but did not record data to evidence any impact upon client alcohol/drug misuse. Model 2: Low intensity, primary focus on parenting (Jigsaw) Model 2 also helped clients to improve parent-child communication and strengthen their relationships. In a small number of cases progress was made towards reuniting some families where the children had been taken into Local Authority Care. However, the project did not work directly with the children and so had no evidence of the impact of its work upon child welfare. In the main, 14 Option 2 is a service operating in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan that works with families with substance misusing parents whose children are at risk of harm. It seeks to reduce the need for children to enter public care.

It pulls together two strands of work: a quantitative strand using data from local areas to look at Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships' (CDRPs) use of ASB interventions and a qualitative investigation of the context in which ASB interventions are made, focusing on persistent adult perpetrators.

One of the major police department divisions which acts as customer for the PRG is the Home Office Crime Prevention Unit which was formed in 1983 to promote preventive action against crime. It has a particular responsibility to disseminate information on crime prevention topics. The object of the present series of occasional papers is to present research material in a way which should help and inform practitioners, including the police, whose work can help reduce crime.
