Finnish Criminal Policy: From Hard Time to Gentle Justice (https://epublications.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1057&context=socs_fac#:~:text=From%20a%20post%20war%20crime,low%20compared%20to%20international%20standards https://epublications.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?arti....) > From a post war crime boom and relatively high incarceration rates, Finnish prisons have emerged to be counted among the most humane correctional facilities in the world and yet, recidivism is very low compared to international standards.
