Preferred term

field visits  

Definition

  • Field visits are an intrinsic component of community corrections and involve community corrections professionals supervising the offender in the community and visiting the offender at his or her residence, place of employment, school, or other agency setting (such as his substance abuse treatment meeting or anger management course) to ensure the offender's compliance with the terms and conditions of probation, parole, or other community-based sanctions. Field visits have their origins in 19th-century practices of social services charitable organizations. [Source: Encyclopedia of Community Corrections; Field Visits]
