| Abstract | In a review that examined the approaches taken in the criminal justice landscape and the correctional environment since the 1960s until recent years in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, it is indicated that peer-support and volunteer groups have an important role to play in contributing towards meeting offender rehabilitation and re-entry needs and helping ex-offenders break away from their criminal lifestyle (Hornby, 2012). It is important to note however from the onset that there is no one pathway to the rehabilitation and reintegration for the ex-offender. Indeed, it takes a combination of approaches including offender assessment and treatment, support of the community to support the offender's reintegration into society, as well as the personal choice and determination to turn away from his/her criminal past and live life anew (Hornby, 2012). |
