Pro Deo, Patria et Familia
In recent years, the criminal justice field has begun to embrace a transformative vision that prioritizes rehabilitation over punishment. This new approach seeks to address the root causes of behavior, focusing on practices that promote healing for both victims and offenders. By fostering community engagement and implementing evidence-based strategies, this vision aims to create a more equitable and effective justice system. As we move forward, it is essential to reimagine justice in a way that supports individuals and strengthens communities.
