68.8.33.8: Faith-Based Institutions

Work with faith-based institutions that have proven track records in diverting young and first time, non-violent offenders from criminal careers.

Other Information:

Government at all levels should work with faith-based institutions that have proven track records in diverting young and first time, non-violent offenders from criminal careers, for which we salute them. Their emphasis on restorative justice, to make the victim whole and put the offender on the right path, can give law enforcement the flexibility it needs in dealing with different levels of criminal behavior.
