Reducing Recidivism (eBook, ePUB)

A Focus on Rehabilitation Instead of Punishment

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Preventing recidivism can strengthen neighborhoods, save taxpayers money, and reduce trauma that comes with crime. Instead of focusing on punishment, our system should focus on rehabilitation. This book argues that reducing recidivism is possible through education availability, rehabilitation and cognitive behavioral therapy, employment programs, reentry initiatives, faith-based instruction, along with social capital provided by family and friends.
