Description
Summary:In 2003, the Chinese government began the use of community corrections to guide the reeducation and reform of offenders. Scholarly research within the field of community corrections has since begun, but the development of Chinese community corrections research is still in its infancy. There is little information about offenders and community corrections’ institutional organization and staffing. There is a dearth of comprehensive studies on the administrative process of community corrections, particularly pretrial investigation, transition of offenders, supervision, and a reward and punishment system. Thus, this study explored these flaws and omissions through research on offender profiles and the supervisors responsible for the development of Chinese community corrections.
