ICVCs are designed to help enhance adult offenders’ acceptance of responsibility for their previous criminal conduct, understand the impact of crime on victims, develop personal safety skills, learn about healthy relationships with others, and contribute to their communities in a way to prevent future victimization. The program utilizes the concept of reintegrative shaming because it is believed that fear of being shamed by family, friends, and significant others would deter an individual from committing crime.
