Supporting prison and probation staff to work effectively with offenders convicted of road crimes

The BriSaR project focuses on adapting an existing programme in Portugal (namely STOP – Responsibility and Safety, targeted at Road Code violators) and update it in line with the research evidence and offender expectations. The project will support correctional staff in prison and probation settings to work more effectively with those offenders who have been sentenced for road offences.
