We go on to consider the relevance of rehabilitation in the offender’s journey through the criminal justice process: is rehabilitation best understood as a type of punishment; as an alternative to punishment; or something which most appropriately follows punishment?

It is often said that the institutions of criminal justice ought or—perhaps more often— ought not to rehabilitate criminal o enders. But the term ‘criminal rehabilitation’ is often used without being explicitly deined, and in ways that are consistent with widely divergent conceptions. In this paper, we present a taxonomy that distinguishes, and exp...
We need a taxonomy of criminal rehabilitation in order to protect against the conflation and confusion of diferent conceptions of rehabilitation. Why do we need this? There are at least five reasons. First, the thought that criminal ofenders ought to be rehabilitated has exerted a strong influence on the design of many criminal justice systems, inc...

In relation to the first two conceptions—reha- bilitation as anti-recidivism and rehabilitation as harm-reduction—we introduced a condition restricting the means that could be used to achieve the intended aim. In respect of the ...
Delineating the five diferent ends-based conceptions of criminal rehabilitation iden-tified by our taxonomy, and further means based subvariants, has, we think, at least two payofs.
One payof is that the taxonomy helps to define the scope of some objections to rehabilitative theories of criminal justice. Delineating diferent conceptions of reha-bilitation makes it clear which conceptions are, and are not, susceptible to common criticisms of rehabilitation. One influential criticism of the view that rehabilitation is a legitima...

In this article, we have sought to bring a measure of clarity by ofering a sim-ple taxonomy of rehabilitation. We have outlined five conceptions of rehabi...
