Community-based corrections
This graduate-level course introduces to students the historical development of community corrections and its current status. Students are expected to first understand the basics of probation, parole, pretrial release and diversion, intermediation sanctions and specialty courts, and then discuss about "nothing works" and what works. We also talk about the reality of rehabilitation versus recidivism, how to make community corrections a legitimate alternative to institutional corrections and new models and proposals for community corrections.
