Abstract
THE MOVEMENT TOWARD COMMUNITY-BASED CORRECTIONS IS THE RESULT OF GROWING DISENCHANTMENT WITH PRISONS AND THE VIEW THAT COMMUNITIES CONSTITUTE A MORE NATURAL SETTING FOR THE REHABILITATION OF MANY OFFENDERS. COMMUNITY-BASED CORRECTIONAL ALTERNATIVES INCLUDE COMMUNITY TREATMENT CENTERS, HALFWAY HOUSES, WORK RELEASE CENTERS, AND DRUG RECOVERY CENTERS. THE BIBLIOGRAPHY IS INTENDED TO DEMONSTRATE VARIOUS COMMUNITY-BASED CORRECTIONAL PROGRAMS BEING EXPLORED WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. (DEP)
