Reducing recidivism in Lee County will require a comprehensive and collaborative approach that addresses the underlying factors that contribute to criminal behavior. Here are some ideas and plans that
could be implemented: But the collaboration is sparse and partial. It’s not only the returning citizens which need a face lift, it’s the system. The underlying factors are too embedded in history to make this the main factor. Let’s take a look at both sides of the coin, shall we?
Comprehensive and collaborative approaches include not only public, but private, nonprofit, small businesses and entrepreneurial communities to get involved. Governments alone cannot tackle the tasks of reentry citizens.
Comprehensive and collaborative approaches include the individual’s voice and understanding and that of their families. Exclusivity and loyalty to sentiments alone. Devalues, the individuals beliefs and ostracizes those who might have been in their story or walked in their shoes. For example; someone of another culture or ethnic background mentoring an individual who has not lived a life without their necessities.
