Community corrections can differ between states and even between jurisdictions within the same state. Survey the following websites:
o North Carolina Community Corrections (Links to an external site.)
o Oregon Community Corrections (Links to an external site.)
Identify the key similarities and differences between the community corrections programs/philosophies of these two states. Are there significant differences? Which state’s program seems most useful for reducing recidivism or keeping people out of prison? Why? For this assignment, I have provided you two sources; make sure to cite them properly, as well as any other sources used.
- 2-4 pages in length; double-spaced; 12-pt. font
- Grammatically correct and free from proofreading errors
- Paragraph, narrative format; 3rd person speech, unless otherwise specified
- Must be completed in Microsoft Word and uploaded in the Assignments section of Canvas. No other method of submission will be accepted.
- At least two (2) outside sources (beyond the course textbooks or notes) must be used for each assignment; sources must be appropriately cited in text and in a reference section as per APA standards. Information on APA formatting for citations and reference lists can be found on the Canvas homepage for this course.
