Supporting Youth Rehabilitation Trends Report 2024

Topic(s): Supporting Youth Rehabiltiation


MSF’s inaugural Supporting Youth Rehabiltiation Trends Report provides an overview of the key youth rehabilitation trends in Singapore. It focuses on youth rehabilitation programmes overseen by MSF and our Integrated Service Providers (ISPs), aimed at supporting youth offenders in addressing their risks and needs to reduce reoffending. 

 

The youth offending and two-year recidivism rates have remained low, with high completion rates across various rehabilitation programmes.

A whole-of-society effort is essential for the rehabilitation and reintegration of youth offenders. Therefore, MSF will continue its collaboration with Government agencies, youth offenders, their families, and community partners to maintain these low offending and recidivism rates.
