Who Is This Course For? - Target Audience
- In the UK, for example, there are over 80,000 people in prison, with a significant proportion serving sentences for non-violent crimes. By 2020, the UK government had committed to reducing the prison population by 10,000 by 2025. Social impact bonds, such as the one launched in 2015 to reduce reoffending rates in Peterborough, offer a promising solution to address these challenges.
