Document Summary
The term alternatives to incarceration doesn"t apply today as much as it did years ago. 70s this terminology was more evident in research and policy. During most of the 20th century the two main ways the judicial system dealt with young people in conflict with the law. Custody was used, open and closed custody, rehabilitation was seen as the main goal. Probation began with the jda in early 20th century. It"s regarded as first alternative to incarceration in canada. Young people are given non custodial punishments when they are to report to probation officers, etc that was seen as the first real alternative to incarceration back in the early 1900"s. As canada moved on other alternatives became evident and played role. In 60s and 70s had community service orders, fines but were used much, mainly cause those young people in conflict in law can"t pay it.
