Features: Community correction is one of the fastest developing fields in the theory and practice of criminal execution in countries around the world today, and it is also one of the main indicators of the international trend where non-custodial measures are gradually replacing custodial sentences. Punishment is a double-edged sword, but through community correction, offenders can adapt to society, reduce the costs of prison execution, fully reflect humanistic care, and effectively alleviate and compensate for the inherent flaws and negative impacts of the original system. This book balances theoretical discussions and practical operations, showcasing the history and current state of community corrections in the United States, which helps broaden horizons, acquire information, and understand the world. Of course, due to differences in social systems and national conditions, the compilers do not simply copy and paste. Instead, they must innovate based on learning from practice.
