| Title | Rehabilitation Programs For Offenders As A Tool Of Crime Prevention In The Kyrgyz Republic |
| Summary | This paper examines the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs for offenders in crime prevention and the policy implementation challenges occurred in the Kyrgyz Republic. The study is motivated by the Sustainable Development Goal 16, which aims to promote peaceful and inclusive societies. It emphasizes the importance of reducing recidivism rates and facilitating the social reintegration of offenders to create sustainable and inclusive communities. The paper highlights the need for comprehensive rehabilitation programs that address the underlying issues contributing to the reduction of recidivism. It discusses the current state of the criminal justice system in the Kyrgyz Republic, including the establishment of the Probation Service. The research question explores why the policy on rehabilitation programs for offenders has failed during the implementation stage in the Kyrgyz Republic. The hypothesis suggests that the policy has failed due to the challenges traced back to the early stages of policy formulation, characterized by a lack of thorough analysis regarding the practical implementation of rehabilitation and resocialization measures, as well as the required resources.The paper aims to identify these barriers to policy implementation and proposes ways to improve rehabilitation programs for offenders. The case study approach is used, with Kyrgyzstan serving as the focus. Lessons learned from Kyrgyzstan’s experience can provide valuable insights for other developing countries in their efforts to enhance rehabilitation and probation outcomes. Overall, this paper emphasizes the significance of analyzing policy design and addressing implementation challenges to improve rehabilitation programs for offenders in the Kyrgyz Republic. By doing so, the goal is to contribute to the promotion of inclusive and sustainable societies and enhance long-term public safety through effective crime prevention measures. |
