註釋This book examines the response of criminal justice officials in California, England and Finland to the idea of community sentences for adult offenders in their jurisdictions. It examines the policy and legislative changes that reflected growing acceptance of community sentences in light of the cost and consequences of imprisonment, and looks at the reasons behind these developments. New ideas in sentencing and criminal policy spread quickly. Sentencing experts use a common language of universally shared meanings and assumptions; a version of penological Esperanto, but inspection of penal practice across jurisdictions often reveal diverse, parochial influences shaping sentencing policy. This book discusses national trends in use of these community sentences, and the views of a variety of officials on the purpose, appropriateness, and credibility of community sentences.
