Drugs, organized crime, white-collar crime, and violent crime are all critical concerns that carry with them the public expectation that action will be taken to restore the security and order that crime threatens or destroys. As a result, the President's anti-crime bill has provided an additional $1 billion for Federal prison construction in the 1990 budget. However, prison construction is not the sole answer to the crime problem. Options for alternative punishment must also be developed. These include electronic monitoring and home confinement, as well as community supervision and innovative programs for reduction of drug demand and the treatment of youthful drug abusers. The American Correctional Association has had and will continue to have a major role in improving the correctional system.
