The outline of this chapter is as follows. In section 2 we provide a further definition of PTs, and present some possibilities that PTs offer for the smart correctional rehabilitation of criminal offenders. Next, in section 3, we briefly discuss the right to mental liberty and the extent to which this right is guaranteed by existing European human rights. In section 4, we discuss three considerations that should be relevant in specifying human rights protection against smart rehabilitation. Subsequently, in section 5 we explore whether the use of PTs in the context of smart rehabilitation would infringe an appropriately specified legal right to mental liberty. We suggest that, in this context, it might be difficult to identify compelling distinctions between novel forms of smart rehabilitation and more traditional criminal legal interventions, such as the imposition of a prison sentence or a psychological treatment program.

"Drawing on original research on community-based alternatives to offender rehabilitation, this book provides an up to date depiction of the challenges faced by front-line workers at the interface between criminal justice and welfare systems striving to address needs and provide multifaceted solutions. Using an innovative theoretical predicated on Activity Theory (AT) to dissect the problem, the book makes the case for co-created rehabilitation strategies that address the needs of offenders - which can only be achieved with the involvement of health and social welfare services as a means to provide a holistic support to individuals - and regard for the dilemmas front-line professionals face to deploy such strategies - which means shifting the top-down paradigm of policy implementation for co-created solutions. The book explores how AT can be used to help design commensurate interventions that give voice to all the interested actors involved in the rehabilitation process and providing readers with tools that help translate theory into practice. This book is essential reading for students, researcher, practitioners and other stakeholders focusing on co-created, bottom-up alternatives to imprisonment that benefit both offenders, community and the state"--
