Non-Institutional correction (Community Correction)

-That aspect of the correctional enterprise that includes


pardon, probation, and parole activities, correctional
administration not directly connectable to institutions, and
miscellaneous (activity) not directly related to institutional
care.
Community-based sanctions span a wide variety of residential, economic
and non-residential treatment options:

 Protection of the Public A major criticism of traditional probation and


parole has been the failure to protect the public from future criminal
acts this criticism can be addressed in several ways:
 Appropriate risk assessment must be utilized to select appropriate
offenders
 The supervision of offenders should include proper monitoring of
compliance with conditions
 Violations of supervised conditions must be taken seriously

 Rehabilitation
A goal of community corrections programs is to correct inadequacies
that contribute to criminal behavior.
Typical problems encountered include drug or alcohol addiction, lack
of emotional control, inadequate education or vocational training, lack
of parenting skills, mental illness and developmental disability.
 Correctional treatment or programming is the means by which
offenders receive assistance for their problems. Proponents believe
that if the issues related to criminal behavior for certain offenders
are addressed, recidivism can be reducedbetween10 and 60% BUT
The Corrections Program Assessment Inventory (CPAI) indicates that
only10-20% of all correctional treatment programs are “high quality”
The key is to replace ineffective programs with one that work.

 Community Reintegration The 1967 President’s Commission on Law


Enforcement and Administration of Justice introduced the term
“reintegration”. Institutions isolate offenders physically and
psychologically.
Reintegration stresses adaptation to the community by requiring
participation in programs that develop accomplishments and the use
of skills in the community
 Restorative or Community Justice
Restorative Justice is victim centered and emphasizes offender
responsibility to repair the injustice that offenders have caused their
victims. When a crime is committed the offender harms both the
individual victim and the community. The offender must repair the
damage by remaining in the community and repaying the victim and
the community at large

 Public Shaming as Punishment


-Some offenders can be deterred from future criminal conduct by
being publicly shamed.

 To be effective, shaming must have five conditions


The offender must belong to an identifiable group
The form of shaming must be sufficient to compromise the person’s
social standing in the group.
The punishment must be communicated to the community
The offender must fear being shunned
Normally, there must be a method for the offender to regain social
status
