Preferred term

goals and objectives of community corrections  

Definition

  • Due in large part to the massive prison overcrowding of the past several decades, as well as the expenses that have accompanied this growth, the demand for and provision of various community corrections programs are at an all-time high. Hence, specifying the primary goals and objectives of these programs is necessary to ensure that these community-based corrections programs can be evaluated on the fundamental bases of need, effectiveness, efficiency, and public safety and protection.
