Next Wave International™ is a faith-based communications group which is training organizations to engage the future & move society forward in a positive direction. Founder / Director: Mal Fletcher
In many parts of the world, including here in Europe, public debate about crime and punishment is growing.
Some people feel that courts are lenient on criminals; that longer prison stretches are what we need. Others are sceptical, saying that prison culture only adds to a criminal mindset.
Some international studies show that higher rates of imprisonment and tougher sentences don't necessarily lead to a decrease in crime.
In the midst of all the talk, some young leaders are taking it on themselves to invest time and energy in lifting prisoners into another place, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The story of one such person, a young mother of five, featured in the EDGES with Mal Fletcher programme on 'Crime and Punishment'. Watch the clip below - it will inspire you!

Mal, just to say thanks for what you brought to ALC recently. It was great to hear your perspective on our culture. I love that you are here in Europe; you're a much needed voice & a great inspiration. Owen, UK
Excellent web sites and presentations! Sound teaching, scriptural enlightenment, etc.

Thanks for the great article on celebrities, Mal. The world says, 'You need to look after No. 1.' Jesus says, 'Put God first and then He'll look after you.' I know which I'd rather do! Ann, Australia
