Economic Crime Programs

Our Economic Crime Program at PERS is a proactive approach to reducing economically motivated criminal offenses, such as retail fraud, by addressing the root causes and offering practical alternatives. We equip individuals with essential life skills, financial literacy, and job readiness training to empower them to make positive choices and break the cycle of economic crime. Through interactive group discussion and community engagement, our program fosters a deep understanding of the consequences of economic crime and its impact on individuals and society as a whole. We strive to provide participants with the tools and knowledge they need to build a stable and legal economic future, ultimately reducing recidivism and promoting a safer and more prosperous community for all.
