Description

<p>Criminal justice policy informed by Japanese recidivism prevention needs change not only where ex-convicts are concerned, but also in how the general population welcomes ex-convicts back into society. It’s fair to say that the labeling of “ex-convict” yields certain dangers for released prisoners in the process of post-release at the community level. If the biggest loss in committing a crime is “trust”, then the work of a social worker is to make up for that loss temporarily by encouraging a relationship between the community and the offender while supporting societal re-entry and avoiding recidivism. For us to see released prisoners as more than societal outcasts or social nuisances, and for us to eliminate social exclusion, we must first see these people as our neighbors and incite change from within ourselves.</p>
