Criminal Justice

Chapter 6 discusses Community Corrections. The Department of Justice defines community corrections (or noninstitutional corrections) as “the supervision of criminal offenders in the resident population, as opposed to confining them in secure correctional facilities. The two main types of community corrections supervision are probation and parole. Community corrections is also referred to as community supervision.” (Bureau of Justice Statistics). While community corrections has traditionally emphasized rehabilitation as its goal, critics assert that community corrections undermines both retribution and deterence and it does not sufficiently guarantee public safety.
With that in mind, your discussion question for this week is:
Are there any crimes that should never result in a sentence of community corrections/supervision? Be creative in your response, and describe hypothetical situations that make the decision more complicated. For example, what about a “murderer” who had experienced years of abuse at the hands of the “victim” and finally snapped, or the college student with a clean record and great GPA whose reckless driving led to the death of a pedestrian?
