Referat24 - Division24

What happens to criminal offenders after a crime? 
Are prisons the best way to prevent future offences? In most cases not! Incarceration in correctional facilities has significant negative consequences for prisoners and also for their children and other relatives. Recidivism rates after prison sentences are high.
Only a minority of people serving prison sentences are so dangerous to the public that they need to be locked away.
The better solution are alternative sanctions that do not involve deprivation of liberty. 
This includes all forms of probation and parole services that help ensure that people no longer commit crimes. This also helps the victims best.
The channel Referat_Y-Division_Y speaks with people who have lived experience with judicial supervision after having committed crimes, with victims of crime and with experts from the system about their personal beliefs and about the best professional solutions that promote desistance from crime.
