Why are community corrections programs considered appropriate for female offenders?
What will be an ideal response?
Most female offenders pose little danger to public safety. It appears that substance abuse underlies much of their criminal behavior and incarcerating offenders whose basic problem is substance abuse can cause significant damage to the offenders and their families. Treatment programs in female prisons tend to be limited and are not effective in the long term. More reasonable risk reduction programs that address the underlying problems that led to the female offender's involvement in crime generally are available in the community rather than in prison. Because female offenders are rarely violent and therefore rarely a danger to society, managing them in the community is a viable option.
