TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - A pathway to danger? Evaluating the Freedom Programme JO - Criminal justice matters A1 - Watkins, Lucy A1 - Dunn, Peter SP - 12 EP - 12 VL - 80 IS - 1 N2 - Can providing support in prison to vulnerable women who have experienced domestic violence expose them to further danger? This article discusses some of the findings of a recent Griffins Society Research Fellowship evaluation of the Freedom Programme. The Freedom Programme was devised to support and empower women who have experienced domestic violence. It has been run in a number of women's prisons as an attempt by the Prison Service to offer interventions to women under the NOMS Resettlement Pathway 8. This Pathway aims to provide support for women affected by domestic violence, as endorsed by Baroness Corston in her 2007 review of vulnerable women prisoners (Home Office, 2007).
