− | The [[assumption]] of '''rehabilitation''' is that people are not permanently [[criminal]] and that it is [[possible]] to restore a criminal to a useful life, to a life in which they contribute to themselves and to [[society]]. A goal of rehabilitation is to prevent [[habitual]] offending, also known as criminal [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recidivism recidivism]. Rather than punishing the harm out of a criminal, rehabilitation would seek, by means of [[education]] or [[Healing|therapy]], to bring a criminal into a more [[normal]] [[state]] of [[mind]], or into an [[attitude]] which would be helpful to [[society]], rather than be harmful to society. | + | The [[assumption]] of '''rehabilitation''' is that people are not permanently [[criminal]] and that it is [[possible]] to restore a criminal to a useful life, to a life in which they contribute to themselves and to [[society]].
