Preferred term

philosophy of community corrections  

Definition

  • Conservative philosophers have enshrined punishment as the cornerstone of moral authority and thus the central purpose for intervention in response to crime. This philosophy of corrections generally places little credence in the capacity of most offenders to change behavior, except in response to a threat of incarceration. [Source: Encyclopedia of Community Corrections; Philosophy of Community Corrections]
