Pros And Cons Of Community Probation And Community Corrections

Many people are convicted wrongfully and serve time for these crimes they did not commit. Out of four people, wrongfully convicted, a total of sixty-three combined years were served (Yancey). This shows us that we can send people to jail and they can spend a good amount of their life locked up in a cage. Roy brown was one of those four people. When Brown was released from prison he had liver disease, no money, and no where to live (Santos). Brown has nothing in his life that he had before his wrongful conviction and he has to rebuild and start over from scratch. A simple wrong verdict by the court system can take a man’s life and turn it upside down. Roy Brown isn’t the only example of serving time in prison after a wrongful conviction, Michael Morton is another man who fits this

Community justice broadly refers to different aspects of crime prevention and justice activities that include the quality of life as a goal for the community. Recent initiatives include community crime prevention, community policing, community defense, community prosecution, community courts, and restorative justice sanctioning systems. Community justice prioritizes different types of offenders to determine the sanctioning for the victims and to ensure the offender is ready to enter back into their community in good standing with no problems. In other words, they do not want them back in the community if they feel they have not learned their lesson or have been rehabilitated. Community justice’s main focus is to promote public safety and like I had said earlier to ensure that the quality of life of the community is in good standing. Community justice includes different ways of interpreting information about police, courts, and corrections that highlights problem-solving techniques. There is a strategy behind community justice such as including restorative justice practices and processes. They also include both adult and juvenile offenders to create a safer community rather than doing things for the offenders or actually to them. Community justice wants to prevent victimization to help establish public safety. It also places a high priority on the wants,

Rules of probation are normally lenient and prisons are both strict and expensive, and normally prisons turn humans into worst kind of humans. Despite being expensive prisons are necessary to keep community safe, no matter what their impacts are

The issue is intermediate sanctions and community corrections within the correctional practices. The two classic forms of punishment/supervision for crimes in the United States are imprisonment and probation. Imprisonment is extremely expensive, often too harsh for both the offender and his/her family based on the crime committed, and tends to be far less effective than hoped in rehabilitating the offender. Probation is used far more frequently than imprisonment but is problematic because many repeat offenders have already unsuccessfully undergone prior probation and there is a lack of supervision due to the heavy caseloads of probation department caseworkers. Faced with the great expense, extreme nature and ineffectiveness of imprisonment vs. the ineffectiveness and lack of supervision in probation, lawmakers have struggled to fill the gap between those two classic law enforcement measures with

Community corrections have more advantages over incarceration and fewer disadvantages. Incarcerating people isn’t working that well and the biggest reason is the overcrowding of prisons. According to a chart in Schmalleger’s book, “prisoners compared vs. capacity” there has been overcrowding of prisons since 1980. We are putting more people in prisons than how much capacity they can actually hold. Not

This case was last before the court on 6/26/2017 for a report to the court. At that time, temporary custody of Issac Johnson remained with the Department and a pretrial conference date was set for October 30, 2017.

After years of criticism, hatred, and chaos, Brown has had to have clearly wished at some times he could just simply live life, without people hanging onto his past. As Chris Brown raps in his verses (In Lil Dickys Body) he explains his situation, in the five dramatistic terms. Chris Brown is the Agent in this scenario. As he wanders down the road of curiosity of what it's like not to be famous, he learns to love, and be thankful for the blessings he has, even though he deals with constant criticism. Next, we have the Act; This being the realization of the true happiness, and change he has made in the past few years, hopefully disregarding all of his past mishaps. It is easy to believe he is trying to gain some of his old fans’ respect back, and by admitting to his faults, and literally asking for people to take a step back, he is succeeding. After the act, we have the scene. This scene is fun, and easy to analyze. Both Chris Brown, and Lil Dicky had opposite “famous” lives, in which Lil Dicky is minorly famous, yet not scrutinized or noticed in public. This is heaven for Chris Brown,

Community correction is a term that refers to everything ranging from diversion before the trial to the punishments that follows after the trial. This refers to any way ranging to non imprisonment yet supervised ways used to deal with criminal offenders who are facing conviction or who has been convicted. (Beck et al., 2001). Probation as well as parole are the two most commonly way of dealing with the offenders though there are many ways such as being confined at home, electronic surveillance, day fines, community service shock probation and residential community supervision to mention but a few. The following are some of the intermediate sanction actions in the criminal corrections:

First, the juvenile prison system can help them turn kids’ lives around. It can be a school that teaches these juveniles what the offenses are and how they can avoid the offenses. A success rehabilitation is better for society in the long run. When the juvenile takes this rehabilitation , he or she will change. If not , the juvenile will need to return to the rehabilitation.

American Society is built upon a balance between the demand for personal freedoms and the need for public safety. It is in the attempt to achieve a balance between these two, that crimes begin to emerge. Criminal offenders who have been found guilty are eventually put into jails to serve time for the crime committed. Harsh sentences for low-level offenders have crowded penal facilities, taking big portions of state budgets. As a result of the overcrowded facilities and low budget, the government opted for probation. Probation is now the most common form of criminal sentencing in the United States. Probation is very common but, as long as the probationer doesn’t reoffend or get involve in illegal activities they can end their sentencing with probation. If the probationer does, in fact, get involved with illicit activities then the probationer is to be put back into the custody of the government.

Chris Brown should be granted a visa pass for many reasons, one being him announcing that if he were to enter the country he would like to use his past experience to raise awareness about the issue. ‘I would be more than grateful to come to Australia to raise awareness about domestic violence,’ he tweeted. ‘I’m not the pink elephant in the room anymore’. He has even been pleading his case on Twitter. By him saying he is willing to raise awareness for domestic violence it is showing everyone how serious he is about this issue.

I think that probation is an effective form of community corrections as it can be. There is never a 100% effective way of stopping people from committing crime. If someone commits a crime even knowing the consequences, chances are they will do it again with or without probation. I think the government needs to focus on why people are committing crime and try to prevent crime before it happens. I also think that maybe there needs to be longer probation periods and harsher ones for repeat offenders. I also think that probation should be for less serious crimes and maybe for misdemeanors and not felonies.

Community justice benefits over the state based justice system with respect to punishment. Specifically, community justice focuses on the restoration and rehabilitation (Taylor & Auerhahn, 2015, p. 303), rather than incarceration. Transgressions are given to the victims, offenders and community to resolve rather than letting the state impose arbitrary sanctions. Community justice allows for more direct solutions to solve crime through the collective agreement between all stakeholders (Wenzel et al., 2008, p. 376). This allows for restorative treatment which has higher levels of satisfaction than traditional forms of incarceration (Wenzel et al., 2008, p. 377).

Due to the offender being charged with felionious assault related charges that involved a minor child, a Probation violation warrant was issued the same date. The affidavit of probable cause depicted sinister abuse of 2 children under the ages of 4 yrs old, by putting lit cigarettes out on their small bodies while the offender found it to be comical. He remained in absconder status until April 7, 2016; when the outstanding probation violation warrant was executed. A detainer was lodged and he remains in the Allegheny County Jail to

Incarceration of offenders has been the typical and most commonly used form of sentencing in corrections. Punishment is often the first choice when an offender breaks the law, which is understandable, because criminals should be held accountable for their crimes. Corrections is a system of checks and balances that holds individuals responsible for their actions. We must ask
