This online resource offers an overview of the recent changes in correctional policy and practice that reflect an increased focus on community-based alternatives for offenders. It discusses the Sequential Intercept Model (SIM), which identifies five conceptual points at which standard criminal processing can be interrupted to offer community-based alternatives: (1) law enforcement/emergency services; (2) initial detention/initial court hearings; (3) jails/courts; (4) re-entry; and (5) community corrections/support. It describes the SIM in detail and reviews empirical evidence for each of its five points of interception. Chapters focus on its implementation, starting with an analysis of the national and state-level initiatives and then address specific challenges. A final section suggests how the SIM might be applied successfully to other populations (e.g., those with developmental disabilities).
