Norway has had extraordinary success with its prison rehabilitation program, with one of the world's lowest recidivism rates. But it's never had to deal with a criminal like Breivik before.
Norway’s attitude toward criminal offenders is to rehabilitate them back into society, rather than punish them. The tolerant Nordic country has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world, 20 percent compared with about 50 percent in the United States.
