Reoffending program off to a strong startpublished at 08:03 British Summer Time 3 October 2017
A scheme that gives first-time offenders the chance to avoid a police record - and turn their life around - has been taken up by more than 80 people across Devon and Cornwall in its first three months.
The Pathfinder initiative, external can be offered to people brought into custody for things like public order offences and criminal damage.
Instead of a caution, they can enter a contract agreeing not to re-offend, to work with agencies to address personal issues and do voluntary work, managers said.
Victims also have to agree.
