3rd International Correctional Research Symposium 2023
Rehabilitating Reintegration: Research and Reflections on What Works
Register today! Event Date: 27-30 March 2023
Corrections is not only about the time spent in prison. Since most of the people that we incarcerate are released and returned back to their communities at some point, a significant task of criminal justice agencies is also to focus on this eventual ‘return’. From both a decency and a public safety perspective, it is pivotal that prisons and probation do all they can to assist in reintegration. But what constitutes good or effective reintegration? What does a ‘successful’ transition from custody to the community look and feel like? What can we learn from research and practice in this regard?
For this symposium, we welcome both evidence-based and practice-informed discussions of how meaningful re/integration can be achieved.
