you are evaluating the usefulness and effectiveness of community corrections. The goals of community corrections include reducing jail/prison overcrowding while decreasing associated costs, preventing future crimes through effective surveillance of offender activities, rehabilitation through various community programs, and effective reintegration into the community. Programs include allowing offenders to stay in the community, either at home or in a community facility, before conviction, after conviction and those focusing on reentry.
Visit the webpage Community Corrections. This page provides information on the various programs within community corrections, ranging from programs provided pre-trial, programs available at the sentencing decision, and programs focused on reentry. Review the various programs (found in Sections III, IV and V). Provide your assessment of the usefulness and effectiveness of each program.
What do you think about community corrections? Do you believe it is a good idea to have a criminal offender free, within the community, awaiting trial? If an individual has been convicted of a crime, should he/she be allowed to serve his/her sentence in the community rather than being incarcerated? Does the type of crime, severity, number of prior offenses, etc. make a difference? Explain your reasoning.
