THE EXPERIENCE OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND IN USING PROBATION, PAROLE, WEEKEND DETENTION, WORK RELEASE, FINES, AND DRUG TREATMENT AS ALTERNATIVES TO CONFINEMENT.
Abstract
THE USE OF THESE PROGRAMS IS ILLUSTRATED BY CASE STUDIES OF OFFENDERS WHO WENT THROUGH THEM. IT IS ARGUED THAT THESE PROGRAMS HAVE PROVED THAT THE LESS VIOLENCE DONE TO AN OFFENDER'S COMMUNITY AND FAMILY CONTACTS, THE MORE CHANCE THERE IS FOR CORRECTING HIS DEVIANT BEHAVIOR.
