Problem-Solving Justice in Practice: The Meuse Probation Service’s Approach to Drug Addiction
For several years, professionals in care, probation, and justice have observed a growing trend of addictive behaviors in the northern region of the Meuse department, under the jurisdiction of the Verdun judicial court. In response, the Meuse Probation Service, in partnership with the French Ministry of Justice, has launched an innovative problem-solving justice program focused on drug-related offenses.
Program Objectives
- Prevent recidivism among individuals convicted of drug-related offenses.
- Support individuals through collaboration with multidisciplinary professionals to help them overcome delinquency.
- Build strong inter-institutional partnerships based on a collaborative, motivational, pragmatic, and rehabilitative approach, enabling participants to progress through the program successfully.
