Our Niche
Realising that our communal, criminal justice, and correctional service environment are cluttered mostly by intervention programs that appear muddled and uncharted, at Ben-Orion, we provide clarity and direction in the understanding of issues and adopt appropriate tools, procedures and practices so as not to stifle otherwise good and laudable programmes.
In the past, so much man and material resources have been invested by persons and organizations, particularly the cultural and faith communities in an attempt to improving our social civilization, justice and punishment regimes, and to curtail recidivism. Also is to salvage waste and improve returns on investment in humanitarian programs, particularly among the vulnerable population, though without commensurate returns, probably for want of targeted programs, appropriate knowledge and skill sets.
