The first responsibility of any government is to protect its public. Expert panelists will showcase innovations reshaping justice systems—from prevention to prison reform and rehabilitation. Presentations will explore how governments, corporations and not-for-profits around the world are moving from business-as-usual to assess new models to improve public safety, create safer communities, and help individuals visualize a life after crime. Key points will cover new approaches to preventing individuals at risk from entering the justice system, revolutionizing prison-management practices, and pioneering novel approaches to rehabilitation both during and after incarceration. From community-based crime diversion to new approaches to successful resettlement, leading experts, policymakers, and practitioners are ready to engage attendees in an insightful conversation, describing how inventive approaches can lead to fairer, more rehabilitative, and effective justice systems worldwide.
