What is human valorisation?

Document Actions
The APAC methodology developed by PF Brazil is an intensive prison regime focusing on the restoration of offenders to themselves, their families, their communities and their Creator. It does this by allowing them to experience and participate in responsible, supportive and caring relationships. The concept of ‘human valorisation’ is a fundamental element of this methodology.

What is restorative justice?

Restorative justice is a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing the harm caused or revealed by criminal behaviour. It is best accomplished through cooperative processes that include all stakeholders.

Practices and programs reflecting restorative purposes will respond to crime by: (a) identifying and taking steps to repair harm, (b) involving all  stakeholders, and (c) transforming the traditional relationship between communities and their governments in responding to crime. more
