Rehabilitation

• It may not always work
• Can allow offenders to be reformed
• Can be used for less severe crimes
• Offenders can be changed - they are taught what is right and wrong
• Helps to improve social cohesion
• Can provide qualifications
• Better chance of recovery and less chance of reoffending
• Positive experience for offenders - less likely to reoffend
• Takes into account why you've committed the crime to solve it (e.g. drugs, drink, lack of qualifications)
• More about Human Rights - fair treatment for all
• Reoffending rates are lower which helps society and saves money
