22 exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose. We call these our '3

Ps'.

Weachievethis in two ways. First, we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we useour knowledge to change 'the system', to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help.

In Justice, we work with young people and adults in custody and in the community, providing a range of services including offender management and resettlement,mentoring, veterans in custody, victim services, gangs work and youth justice.

We believe that with effective support mechanisms and the correct interventions, we can change service user’s ideology, helping them desist from crime and reach their true potential.
