Professor Eddie Kane, director of the Centre for Health and Justice co-authored a report funded by the Shared Outcomes Fund for the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), conducted alongside RAND Europe, Get the Data and Skills for Justice.

The research examined how police in England and Wales use options to resolve cases out of court to support adults with mental health and health-related vulnerabilities.

This study aims to introduce a 'two-tier plus' framework for Out of Court Disposals (OOCDs) or Out of Court Resolutions (OOCRs), provide an overview of how different police forces use OOCDs, improve the use of OOCDs and ensure that forces will be ready to comply with the new legislation when it comes into forces.
