Most assessments of rehabilitation programs regard recidivism as an important measure of success.
Rehabilitation is also concerned with reintegration.
This covers a range of indicators, such as whether an offender is:
- engaged in employment
- continuing their education
- drug-free
- building meaningful relations with family and/or their spouse
- disengaging from criminal associates.
Rehabilitation is concerned with ensuring an offender has the capacity and motivation to engage meaningfully in mainstream society.
