Rehabilitative Criminologists Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill regulates the practice of rehabilitative criminology in Israel. It provides that a person may not practice in this field unless they are registered in a public register and are eligible for registration on the basis of a recognized education in the field. The bill prohibits employing people who are not rehabilitative criminologists in positions related to the field, and sets duties of professional confidentiality and rules of ethics. It also imposes medical examinations on applicants for registration, and sets disciplinary procedures for rehabilitative criminologists who have committed disciplinary offenses.
