Define intensive supervision programs and intensive rehabilitation supervision. What does the research tell us about the effectiveness of each type of program?
What will be an ideal response?
Intensive supervision programs were intended for high-risk probationers and parolees who were nevertheless deemed not to require incarceration if a less costly alternative were available. Probation or parole officers supervising offenders on ISPs have smaller caseloads, provide round-the-clock team supervision, make frequent contacts, and presumably are less tolerant of any failure on the part of the offender to meet the conditions of release. Alcohol and illegal drug use are monitored closely and without notice. Despite these punitive conditions, evaluations of community ISPs have not been promising, and they have not proved cost-effective. Intensive rehabilitation supervision is a second-generation approach to community supervision. Because of their potential for frequent contact with high-risk offenders, IRS programs are likely to be able to match the risk level of offenders with their criminogenic and non-criminogenic needs.
