(Gray) When a crime has occurred its important to deal with it, to reduce the number of offences committed in society/ community. Fighting and solving crime involves a variety of support, the police force cannot do it on its own, and to prevent crime involves different agencies working together and local crime reduction initiatives. Initiatives find new innovative ways to especially reduce and prevent crime. Reducing crime and disorder in the community is a momentous obligation and frank aspect in every single public services and majority of community organisations; and it presents peace, protection and fairness to the community. As a research officer in crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership, my obligation is to scutiny the resources and physical in
Affect on society Community corrections affect society because some people do not feel safe knowing that there is a criminal out and about with the freedom to do whatever, he or she pleases. A person, whom commits a crime while in the community, will return to jail to finish up his or her time that he or she was sentenced, depending on the new crime committed, whether it is the same crime or not, the offender can have time added to his or her present sentencing. Hypothesis and Effectiveness Community corrections are forms of discipline that works when it is directed toward the correct group of people. Every person deserves a second chance, unless you are a person whom thinks that killing a person, is a good way to solve
Punishing and following up with rehabilitation through community supervision can help prevent crime. Punishment and community supervision should be based on the type of crime. If the appropriate sentence is issued upon a minor, it can help prevent them from future criminal activity. Each act of violent crime is different and every minor has a different back story. Once the crime is committed, the next step should be having a social worker and therapist speak with the minor.
The idea behind corrections facilities is to take a criminal and rehabilitate them so that they may reenter society a better person and as one that may become a contributor to society instead of taking from society. There are a wide variety of issues that the clients in corrections might have. Many might have the same main issues but the underlying issues that cause those issues are the ones that really need the work. These are the main behavioral plans that case managers will work on
Justice is to maintain order and to punish the criminals in which have committed the crime. Justice being served is a common term in which is used in the English language. In my opinion, justice being served means the person who committed the crime is being punished to the full extent of the law and the victims or the family of the victims can rest more peacefully knowing that the criminal is behind bars and will not hurt anyone else again. Justice to me is greater than the terms
Restorative justice is an alternative way to look at criminal justice(Stahlkopf, 2009) and react to a criminals behaviour. The concept of restorative justice is to allow the offender to repair some of the damage they have caused their victims. This is usually done through face to face meetings known as conferencing. If face to face meetings cannot be held other indirect methods like emails, phone calls or conferencing through mediators can be facilitated. During these conferencing processes victims, their families, and the
What is done is to “instill habits of work in people, help build their skills' then they will be rehabilitated. The third one, which believes that true rehabilitation takes place when such person is allowed back into the community and is a combination of both retributive and rehabilitative theories, seeks to: “1) deter future and past criminals from doing a crime because the threat of incarceration looms 2) incapacitate the offender to stop the individual from possibly endangering others 3) punish the criminal by serving time and living a restricted lifestyle and 4) rehabilitate them for release into society (Fuller , 125-27). By the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the probation success rate is 62%. Most probation programs are designed to (1) protect the community by assisting judges in sentencing and supervising offenders, (2) carry out sanctions imposed by the court, (3)
Opportunity theorists reject the notion that criminals are pushed and pulled into criminal behavior. Rather, these theorists assert that criminal offenders are consciously thinking individuals who actively choose to partake in criminal activities in their everyday normal lives. Opportunity theorists seek to explain why criminals choose to commit a crime in one situation and not another. This perspective is what they call an “opportunity theory” Opportunity theories wager that no crime would be committed unless there was an open and present opportunity to commit the criminal act. One approach that opportunity theorists seek in preventing crime is what is known as the routine activity theory.
While sticking to the idea of rehabilitation, the correctional system created training programs that would finally meet provincial standards, and developed work programs that offered offenders an adequate amount of pay as well as incentives to motivate their progress. Today, researchers have been able to demonstrate that certain programs do hold power to reduce reoffending. By matching offenders risk level with the intensity of their program, targeting the offender’s antisocial needs, and using cognitive behavioural approaches, the system can help effectively reduce criminal’s likelihood of committing another offence.
1.2VICTIM EMPOWERMENT – the process by which each individual who has suffered harm or violence is helped to deal with their grief and resentment enabling them to become more positive, proative members of society. It provides communities with skill and self control, support and tools necessary to become more effective advocates for the rights and needs of victims in light of historic discrimination. 2. INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE ON VICTIM EMPOWERMENT & SUPPORT The declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for victims of crime and abuse is based on philosophy that victims should be recognised and treated with respect and dignity. Victims are entitled to access to mechanisms of justice and prompt redress for harm suffered They are also entitled to receiving adequate specialised assistance in dealing with emotional trauma caused by vitimisation. The Bill of Rights prescribes the right to every person to equality and freedom and security The Victim Empowerment Programme focusses on promotion a victim-centered approach to crime
