The Central Place of Community Corrections in Criminal Justice Reform
September 14, 2017
Overview
On September 14, 2017 the Harvard Kennedy School Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management (PCJ) hosted an event at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City which highlighted papers from the recently-completed Executive Session on Community Corrections, a joint project of the PCJ and the National Institute of Justice.
Experts on community corrections engaged in panel discussions about how a reduction in probation populations can affect better outcomes, the impacts of legal and financial obligations for re-entry, how data can be integrated to ensure better outcomes, and a consensus document that members of this Executive Session created to pave the way forward for community corrections.
