Decarceration
Starting in the mid‐1970s, the US incarceration rate increased rapidly, with state and federal prison populations peaking in 2009 at 1,615,487 prisoners. Although the incarceration rate rose continuously for more than 30 years, the prison population growth began to flatten in the 1990s and many states have experienced reductions during the past 10–15 years. This flattening of and decline in prison populations is known as decarceration. The phenom…
Understanding the Perceived Value of Incentives in Community Supervision
The use of incentives to promote offender compliance is becoming increasingly common in community supervision. Although evidence suggests that incentives can improve offender outcomes, little is known about how they can best be implemented to achieve desired results. Research in other fields demonstrates that incentive quality plays an important role in promoting behavioral change. Unfortunately, little is known about the perceived value of incen…

Preparing Community Supervision Officers through Undergraduate Education
Although community corrections courses have existed in universities for decades, studies have yet to explore whether the depth and breadth of academic preparation is meeting practitioner needs.

In this article we delineate the extent of decarceration and examine the context in which it has occurred. We then explore possible po…
