Despite the need for alternative noncustodial sentence proposals, as articulated by attorneys, community agencies, defendants, and probation officers, the task of presenting alternative sentencing recommendations to the courts is not being satisfactorily completed. Consequently, the CSP Model was developed and tested as a systematized method for standardizing the formulation of alternative service sentencing proposals for offenders who without such plans would be incarcerated. Seven components constitute the model, including procedures for client referrals, case acceptance criteria, demographic data, a resource directory, a rank ordering of nonconfinement alternatives according to degree of restrictiveness, a fee schedule, and client followup. Plans may include any combination of the following elements: living arrangements, community service alternatives, victim compensation proposals, employment information on the client, specification of psychological treatment, medical or physical treatment, and reporting schedules to all agencies on client progress. With regard to field testing, of the 74 cases for which CSP's were developed, 28 involved crimes against persons, with 18 plans accepted in full or in part by the courts. Forty-six cases involved crimes against property, with 36 plans accepted in full or in part. Willingness of the courts to prescribe alternative to incarceration sentences appears substantiated by project results. Fifteen references and four tables are provided.
