Assignment: Corrections Reform Policy
Overview
The purpose of corrections is a hotly debated issue: Is the role of corrections to punish offenders or rehabilitate people? When offenders reenter society, should they be provided assistance to integrate, or should they be left to their own devices? There is no easy answer to these questions, and every criminal justice system, jurisdiction, and community needs to analyze and develop a policy of their own.
