Abstract

The term community corrections refers to the programs and services that are used for the supervision and treatment of youths who have been adjudicated delinquent and are supervised by a community-based agency in a community setting. Community corrections, in a broad sense, can be divided into “ front-end” and “back-end” sanctions (punishments). “Front-end” sanctions refer to those that are given to juveniles before being adjudicated delinquent, such as when a juvenile is diverted from formal court processing, placed in some type of diversion program, and required to complete some form of sanction, such as community service, restitution, and others, while those youths who are adjudicated delinquent might be placed on probation or committed to a community treatment center. “Back-end” sanctions are applied to youths who have been removed from the community, committed to some form of secure residential facility, released from the facility, and allowed to return to the community under some form of supervision by a juvenile justice program, such as aftercare (parole) or treatment in a community residential facility.
