ABSTRACT
In Taiwan, offender rehabilitation follows the “Rule of Law” principle. Treatment and supervision are tailored based on individual cases and specific crime types according to legal regulations. The approach integrates psychology and social work expertise according to Risk-Need-Responsivity principles. Treatment programs are categorised as Therapeutic, Protective, or General. Taiwan's current criminal law system employs both a “Punishment” and a “Rehabilitative Disposition”, aiming to assist offenders in reintegrating into society and addressing underlying traits that contribute to crime. Rehabilitative dispositions target future risk, through education and treatment, serving as a supplementary system for punishment with the goal of addressing the causes of crime and preventing reoffending.
