This year's theme was "The Future of Probation and Parole": How do we envision and utilize probation and parole in different settings and developments? What lessons can we draw from the past? And what insights can we gain from each other? The congress offered a well-balanced mix of inspiration, in-depth exploration, and networking opportunities with colleagues from around the globe. >>View an impression of this event and also see the >>CEP Secretary General’s declaration n the International Day for Community Volunteers Supporting Offender Reintegration. |
