How can net widening reduce the effectiveness of an intermediate-sanctions program?
What will be an ideal response?
• When intermediate sanctions are used for lower-risk probationers (net widening), they simply add to the supervision of probationers who would not have been sent to prison even if the intermediate sanction did not exist. This defeats one chief goal of intermediate sanctions, which is to maintain offenders in the community who would otherwise have been sentenced to prison.
