| 2002 - Perth - Making the Community Safer (In
conjunction with the Australian Institute of Criminology) |
Introduction
Agencies and individuals working in the field of
Community Corrections supervise offenders on a wide variety
of court orders and early release from prison, and are also
involved in a range of work including crime prevention,
victim support and victim offender mediation, drug courts
and other specialist courts.
The Community Corrections profession underpins much of
the criminal justice system: providing advice to courts on
bail and sentencing, and to Parole Boards and like bodies on
release decisions. It is at the forefront in the use of
technology in managing offenders, with electronic monitoring
of compliance with orders, and sophisticated drug testing
regimes; and at the forefront of the delivery of programs to
offenders - cognitive behavioural programs to sexual and
violent offenders; domestic and family violence perpetrator
programs; cognitive skills programs and substance use
programs. It is an avid user of sophisticated research and
evaluation, using cutting edge tools for the assessment of
offenders' risk and needs.
This conference examined current and proposed practice
and research in the wide field of community corrections.
