According to data provided by the
ministry, carried by Hala News, the alternative penalties include options such
as community service, community and electronic monitoring, and restrictions on
convicts from accessing specific places.
New approach to criminal policy
The ministry, in collaboration with other
competent authorities, assumes the responsibility of monitoring convicts and
ensuring their compliance with the required alternatives, as part of Jordan's
new criminal policy.
This policy aims to allow convicted
individuals to continue their lives without severing their livelihoods or
associating with perpetrators of crimes and other individuals charged and
sentenced.
The recent announcement is part of the
"Justice in Numbers" campaign, implemented by the Ministry on social
media platforms.
Alongside the issuance of 39 non-conviction
certificates in Arabic and 3,030 certificates in English, the Ministry revealed
that a total of 196,000 non-conviction certificates have been issued from the
beginning of the year until the end of May.
