The International Association of Treatment Court Professionals and Association of Justice and Treatment Professionals present:
Alternative to incarceration Strategies in the Americas
Register here.
Several justice and treatment partnerships have emerged to tackle and combat the social, economic, medical, and psychological determinants of crime. These partnerships have resulted in the creation of programs designed to achieve the rehabilitation of the defendant as an alternative to incarceration, without compromising accountability and public safety. Panelists will discuss examples of these programs in several countries in the Americas.
