Get Smart on Crime - The Netherlands Helsinki Committee's New Video
The Netherlands Helsinki Committee (NHC), in cooperation with the Center for International Legal Cooperation, and the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, have recently published a video which aims to explain the benefits of probation services to decision-makers and stakeholders within criminal justice. In this video, produced by Francis Camstra from Tas Films, people who have implemented, studied and lived probation give a different perspective that shows probation is possible and needed.
The world faces a significant problem, with a prison population reaching about 11 million. The NHC challenges the old system by asking," is there a way out of this cycle, a better approach to imprisonment geared towards true rehabilitation?". Prison reform is needed, especially in countries which use incarceration as a major tool for justice. Watch the video below, and feel free to share with us your experience.
