In Victoria, Australia, the intensive correction order (ICO) was introduced in the Sentencing Act of 1991. In general terms, it is suitable for offenders who are being rejected for community-based orders on the basis of their high risk and/or recidivism and who would have received short terms of imprisonment. The present study investigated general perceptions of ICOs by both staff and offenders, the type of offenders currently receiving ICOs, and relationships between offender characteristics and ICOs. It was found that ICOs are quite successful in fulfilling their stated aim of providing a credible sanction to fill the gap between community-based orders and short-term imprisonment and that ICO "target groups" such as drunken drivers are significantly represented.
