A Comparative Paradigm for Analyzing International Community Corrections Programs

This article provides a comparative model for evaluating international community corrections programs. The goals of this approach include: expanding culturally narrow- minded thinking in regard to community corrections, isolating relevant universal and national phenomena affecting offender treatment, and providing a framework for finding solutions to universal and relative problems in social behaviour. These goals are accomplished in a three-dimensional comparative study of the larger society (differentiation mode), host community (implementation mode), and community correctional program (impact mode) under scrutiny. The resulting information can be used to reveal international problems in corrections, to create universal typologies (offenders, program models, client-services, etc.), to isolate and understand specific national problems in rehabilitation, and to promote workable solutions to the problem of crime and its correction.
