#Stigma#Reintegration#PeopleFirst
Help reduce the stigma for individuals with a criminal record by using people-first language that focuses on the person, not their actions. Try “person who is reintegrating”, “person who experienced incarceration” or “person with a criminal record”.
Contribuez à réduire la stigmatisation pour les gens ayant un casier judiciaire en utilisant un langage centré sur la personne et non sur ses actions. Dites « personne qui réintègre la société », « personne ayant vécu l’incarcération » ou « personne ayant un casier judiciaire ».
