Individual data are analyzed to assess the impact of community placement on individual offenders in the State of Colorado.
Abstract
The results indicate that both personal characteristics and program placement influence chances of rearrest. Community placement does not increase the individual's risk of rearrest. These conclusions suggest that community placement is a viable alternative to incarceration for many offenders. (Publisher abstract)
