Community corrections: places offenders in the community rather than in secure institutions. This allows offenders to maintain or establish links within the wider community in which they live. These sentences are court ordered and always under supervision where they have to follow rules. Probation: this system wasn"t around until the 1950"s. Probation is a sentence imposed when an offender had either been found guilty or plead guilty in a criminal court. They must refrain from contacting delinquents or criminals. Conditions could include educational programs, substance abuse programs, community volunteering or course in money management. Po"s provide personal support, enforce the law, and provide help in areas such as behaviour modification and guidance to prevent reoffending. The commission of any new offence will initiate revocation.
