Community corrections includes all non-incarcerating correctional sanctions
imposed upon an offender for the purposes of reintegrating that offender within the
community. This is important because the term “Community Corrections” is often
subject to perceptions of the individual, and these perceptions can affect the outcomes
of community-based programs.
