Offenders Could Get Clean Slate Under New Reforms

Government is moving to reform the criminal justice system by introducing measures that would allow certain offenders to have their records cleared after rehabilitation.

The initiative is aimed at giving individuals a second chance, particularly those convicted of minor offenses who have demonstrated rehabilitation and good behavior.

Officials say the move is part of a broader push toward restorative justice, helping individuals reintegrate into society without the long-term burden of a criminal record.

Supporters argue that such reforms could improve employment opportunities and reduce repeat offending.
