Abstract

Rehabilitation plays a crucial part in order to serve the criminal justice. Without a doubt it is very important dimension for Human rights. Unlike punitive justice, it aims to address the root reasons of crime and giving chance of personal development and social reintegration for the convicts. Rehabilitation as a approach doesn’t believe that the punishment is the only measure in criminal law for serving justice and preventing the future crimes. It is a long-term plan for the safer society. It has its advantages and disadvantages when it comes to criminal law. Even though it is a part of the criminal justice system, it might be also crashing with it. This manuscript will present how rehabilitation works and it may help the convicts and the society with lowering the recidivism. Moreover, its methods and steps and legal practices will be analyzed in this manuscript.
