The Association des services de réhabilitation sociale du Québec is devoted to the promotion of community action in the field of criminal justice. In concrete terms, it supports and fosters citizen participation in the management of justice-related problems.
It is the Association’s view that active community participation in the solution of crime-related problems contributes to social development and, consequently, to the well-being of our community.
Bringing together non-profit community-based organizations working in the social reintegration of adult offenders field and promoting crime prevention through community action, the ASRSQ aims to:
- Support its members and provide them with different services.
- Represent its members to government authorities and its partners.
- Raise awareness to and promote citizen participation in crime prevention and social and community reintegration.
Objectives
The role of the ASRSQ is to seek to identify solutions to the problems associated with adult crime through efforts to make individuals accountable for their actions. These solutions need to be fair, all the while being satisfying for victims, the community, and offenders.
There exists within the membership of the ASRSQ a heartfelt belief that citizens can play a major role in solving problems related to crime, to people in conflict with the law and to the social reintegration of offenders. Hence, the ASRSQ seeks first and foremost to promote community involvement.
