Rehabilitation

Upon completion of our rehabilitation program, our participants will be issued a rehabilitation certificate confirming their successful completion of the program and recognition of their desire and commitment to leading a law-abiding lifestyle.

This will show the powers that be that you have taken steps to put your unlawful behaviour behind you and this may assist you in:

  • Family Court
  • Better employment
  • Obtaining a Pardon or Waiver

Rehabilitation efforts are an attempt, through treatment or programming, to stop offenders from continuing to offend. Webster (2004) notes that "rehabilitation is a crime prevention strategy rooted in the notion that offenders can change and lead crime-free lives in the community" (Webster, 2004: 115). While other preventative programs attempt to sway youth away from getting involved in violence and delinquency before they have done so, rehabilitation programs target those who have already engaged in delinquent or violent behavior. Rehabilitation is also known as tertiary crime prevention (Farrington and Welsh, 2007: 93). Rehabilitative programs can be provided within or as part of another criminal justice sanction, such as incarceration or probation, but this is not a requirement of rehabilitative programming (Lipsey and Cullen, 2007: 9).

The need for positive thinking and behaviour is essential for communities to function. When both victims and perpetrators come to terms with traumatic and/or criminal experiences, a positive outlook reflects in their attitude and behaviour. This tends to have a ripple affect on those closest to the victim/perpetrator and by extension, the community at large.
