Document Summary
2010-2011: 77% of adult offenders served their sentence in the community; 23% were incarcerated. Ways offenders are counted in canada: each time an individual is admitted into custody or community supervisions, looking at where someone enters the correctional system. Alternatives to imprisonment: probation, conditional sentences, parole, and intermediate punishment (intensive supervision probation, home confinement and electronic monitoring, and day fines). Community corrections: administer and monitor diversion programs, pre-trial supervision, and community-based sanctions. Reviewed 231 studies of treatment programs between 1945-1967. Conclusion: rehabilitation efforts have had no appreciable effect on recidivism, as it does not reduce tendencies of criminal re-lapse. Martinson clarified his position that some programs are actually beneficial later. Critique of rehabilitation was too powerful and entrenched. Probation: idea that some offenders are not dangerous to society thus, are allowed to serve all or part of their sentence in the community most common community-based punishment.
