In the closing session, many participants lauded the CARICOM Secretariat for the initiative. They   spoke about the knowledge and insights gained from the training and its potential benefits for reducing recidivism and helping crime prevention. To this end, they indicated their commitment to implement what they have learned by training others in their respective territories.
