This study is focused on the process of community resource building for the protective and corrective agencies. Because of lack of skills and funds at these agencies, it becomes known that various resources should be mobilized from the community to enhance the capacity of those correctional institutions. The mobilization of community resource is much required not only for the high quality of programs but also for the development of the participants. In the study, social exchange theory and some concepts including voluntary are mentioned to rationalize the process of community resource building. Also three cases are introduced as the community resource building in the field of corrections. A model of community resource building for the protective and corrective agencies is developed based on the theory and those concepts. Community resource building could be processed through the following levels; assessment, recruitment, training, application, and evaluation. Specially, community resource building should be emphasized to reward the participants for their efforts. Furthermore, community resource building is an important independent program from the main program which is to be conducted at the correctional centers. The model of community resource building developed in this study needs to be applied at the correctional institutions to make up for the weak points.

This paper was focused on the pressing issues of the U.S. correctional system. The outlines of the paper is as follows: Chap. 1. Introduction, Chap. 2. The Development of Corrections in the U.S., Chap. 3. The Organization of Corrections in the U.S., Chap. 4. Issues in the U.S. Corrections, Chap. 5. Concluding Remarks. The findings can be summarized as follows: From the colonial days to the present in the United States of America, the methods of criminal sanctions that are considered appropriate have varied. The development of the penitentiary brought a shift from corporal punishment. The Pennsylvania and New York systems were competing approaches to implementing the ideas of the penitentiary. The Declaration of Principles of 1870 contained the key element for the reformatory and rehabilitation models of corrections. The administration of corrections in the United States is fragmented in that various levels of government are involved. Jails, which are administered by local government, hold persons awaiting trial as well as sentenced offenders. Prison populations have more than doubled during the past decade. There has also been a great increase in facilties and staff to administer them.

This study attempts to find ways to develop more effective correctional management in Korea, by comparing crime situation, prison conditions, and the structure of correctional agencies among four different countries, the U.S., China, Japan and Germany. Based on the notion that the primary goal of the correctional institution is to prevent criminals from committing further crimes, the foremost important job of the correctional management lies in developing more efficient operation of in-prison treatment programs. According to this understanding, this article examines the aspects of correctional education, work programs within facilities and the reward-punishment system, healthcare, devices for protecting inmates' human rights in Korea and compares them with those of four other counties. And then the study derives some weak points that the Korean correctional organizations faces and suggests how to improve the current situation.

When examining existing theories of crime, we are led to an agreement that crime is eventually private as well as public evil. However this conclusion may neglect a possibility that whoever lives his life as a good citizen under the constraint of law in a nation-state may someday find himself to be a criminal. Crime is not just a problem caused by a special kind of man. Even if we can tell criminal activities as delinquent, it is not unreasonable that they are not abnormal. Based on the assumption that a few special persons commit crimes, so far most literatures on crime tend to concentrate on either some properties of criminals or the relation between environmental and human factors. Circumscribed by its narrow presupposition, criminology cannot but provide the crippled power of explanation over the ocean of criminal cases in reality. If we admit crime is a normal phenomenon of everyday social routine, it may be more profitable for the future studies of correction to focus on the question of how to defend our society from criminal delinquencies in practice than to make efforts in making conflictive arguments in theory. Also how to rehabilitate criminal victims who have been excluded from the process of criminal justice should be stressed as a main theme in light of criminal policies. In consideration of these problematics, this study tries to show the future direction of correction policies. Chapter 2 explains the existing theories and groups them into two families according to their analytic dimensions. Classifying the theories of innate or inherent criminality as of 'personal level causes,' I call the theories of socio-environmental factors as of 'social level causes.' In chapter 3, I examine both the existing theories on crime and some problems in the current corrective system with a critical viewpoint. In chapter 4, I want to present a few alternatives for the future direction of correction. These alternatives include the cooperation and coordination between criminal justice agencies, reparation for criminal victims, and the introduction of private jails or penitentiaries. In this article, I argue we should concentrate our attention rather on correcting offenders individually by changing their relations with structural factors than on searching for the more evident causes of crime. In terms of improvement I also propose some measures such as the introduction of governmental indemnification for the whole society as well as individuals directly victimized by crimes and the prisoners' reimbursement system for their own penitentiary costs. We are so deeply accustomed to the rational and mechanical type of assumption that we cannot be readily accept the critical review developed in this study. However we explore the causes of crime to improve our society in practice. If we accept this ultimate purpose of criminological studies, it cannot be denied the importance of practical efforts to enhance the efficiency of corrective policies as well as to realize common good for all the people pertinent to the social phenomena of crime including offenders as the objects of correction, victims, law enforcing agencies and even tax payers who want social security.

In recent years, police and correctional agencies in USA have formed a variety of partnerships in which their staff collaborate to share information or jointly perform services in ways that benefit both agencies. The police-corrections partnerships developed in the context of reforms that were intended to alter in fundamental ways the manner in which policing and corrections are performed. In law enforce, the most common such reform is community policing. In corrections, emerging reform models are termed community justice or community probation. It seems more and more apparent that the police alone cannot solve many crime and order problems, but that in partnership with others who have resources of their own to offer -- time, money, expertise, ideas, energy, equipment, and more -- perhaps they can. It has become for innovative police departments to invest a good deal of effort in enlisting the aid of others, and to tackle problems by allying police resources and strengths with those of others. One resource seldom tapped by police agencies remains the local correction department. Perhaps as a result of interdepartmental rivalry or a perceived conflicts of missions, many police departments have little, if any, contact or communication with the correction department serving the same jurisdiction. This paper seggests Police-Corrections Meeting Programs, Notification System Appointing liaison officers, Ride-Along Program, Cooperative safety effort involving police officers and probation officers, Variation of community service order, Corrections personnel's participation of Citizen Police Academies, Communication of police-correction volunteer, Cooperative law enforcement.

This study looked specifically at the community corrections programs in Virginia where those are being practiced statewide. For the research, the interviews with program managers not only in the state level but also in the specific field level were conducted. The major findings are as follows: (1) For the successful management of these programs, it is important to make best use of community resources and to manage the conflicts with local residents effectively. (2) Even though in Virginia community corrections programs are cost-efficient, the operation of these programs cannot be stable because of budgetary or political reason. So the success of community corrections depends upon the favorable policy environment to these fields. (3) More programs may be initiated by the existing correctional systems in lieu of creating new community corrections programs or facilities. All in all, the diversion center program, especially for non-felon women offenders can be useful and considerable in the short run in Korea. This program can be applied in private prisons, women's correctional facilities or open house facilities in our nation.

This study has been developed to find policy implications and to suggest suitable correctional programs for adult inmates and their families based upon the importance of family ties between those two parties. Keeping good family ties can be a valuable resource for inmates, families and the government. The study has reviewed existing researches on the effects of family factors on prison lives and recidivism rate. It has been suggested that families play an important role in rehabilitating prisoners and re-entry into the community after their release. The empirical studies showed consistently that good family ties during incarceration can contribute inmates' positive prison lives and reduce new offence after prison. After looking at the empirical studies and Korean correctional policy situations, this study recommended the correctional policies and the programs that could maintain stability and improve relations between inmates and their families. The policy directions with two objectives were suggested by this study. The first thing was to establish and activate the tying programs between the inmates and their families. That included increasing contact programs between the two parties, and enhancing familyhood through education. The second thing was the improvement of the economic conditions of the inmates' families and personal supports for the children with imprisoned parents. It concluded that more assistance programs and activities should be provided for inmates and their families to enhance family ties.

The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of the police, prosecution and the others's social support on stress responses and correction of the juvenile delinquents. To accomplish these purposes, this study used sample of 546 juvenile delinquents who are in the process of the juvenile justice. Social support and correction were assessed with an instrument designed for this study. Juvenile delinquents were assessed using the following variables: ⑴ perceived social support scale, specially social support types (esteem support, emotional support, informational support), social support providers (parents, relatives, friends, teachers, community) and police and prosecution's social support. ⑵ correction scale, specially social stigma, social deprivation, self reflection, legal consciousness, self concept. The resulting scale of the instrument had good internal reliability and was scored to show that high scores indicated a willingness to access. To examine this purpose, Mean, standard deviation, Two way ANOVA were conducted. The results are as follows: First, The effects of the police and prosecution's social support on stress responses did make significant difference. The less police and prosecution's social support they had, the more stress responses such as anger, anxiety, guilty feeling and resentment appeared. Second, the effects of the police and prosecution's social support on correction did make significant difference on the social deprivation, legal consciousness and self reflection. Therefore, the system like Youth Counseling Center which provides counseling, consultation, and information to the youth and their parents in early stage of the police and prosecution should be activated. And, Government should develope a formal and informal social support network for the juvenile delinquents.

This article traces the process in which gender-specific approach was emerged to rehabilitate female offenders in the United States and introduces a few promising gender specific programs for female juvenile delinquents. Gender-specific services refer according to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention(OJJDP) the correctional services that are designed to meet the unque needs of female offenders; that value the female perspective; that celebrate and honor the female experience; that respect and take into account female development; that empower girls and young women to reach their full potential; and that work to change established attitudes that prevent or discourage girls and young women from reaching their potential. The emergence of the gender-specific approach can be explained by two factors. empirically, female offenders, especially female delinquents, have been one of the fastest growing criminal population since the 1900s. Correctional personnel recognised the role of gender-sensitive correctional programming to curtail the size of female delinquent population. They realized many current services for juveniles are aimed at the rehabilitation and education of male delinquents. Second, many criminological research based on feminist perspective have found that female offenders are quite different from male offenders in various ways; girls are incarcerated for status offenses that boys; girls develop self-esteem and female identity differently; girls are pressured to conform the traditional gender roles and the gender stereotyping plays a central role in creating female delinquents; girls have gender unique problems such as physical, sexual abuse, domestic violence and adolescent pregnancy. The combination of these two trends resulted in the amendment of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, in which states should review the issue of gender bias in the current juvenile correctional programs before receiving federal

This study is a review paper which re-analyzes correctional programs and finds successful factors on recidivism. The principal papers rivewed in this study are Lipsey(l999), Gendreau(l996), and Antonowicz & Ross (l994). The strengths of these reviewed papers lie in the extensiveness and the statistical methdology, namely 'meta analysis'. Meta analysis produces different effect sizes from various research and a test statistic(Q value) for the comparison. Particulary, Lipsey(1999) rivewed 400 papers which had reported effectivessness of the correctional programs in English during the year of 1950 through 1995, and extracted 150 successful factors on recidivism. And also he reported unsuccessful determinants in correctional programs. This paper also introduced profiles of the successful programs implemented to jevenile delinquents and adult criminals in the American continent with a intention to share insights with readers for better correctional programs in Korea. Finally, the conclusion of this review is: First, the correctional programs focused on deterrence or psycho-dynamics (e.g., unconsciousness) are not successful. Second, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy techniques focused on the reduction of individual's criminogenic needs are most successful.

This study aims to analyze programs for inmates : education, work, recreation, and religion. In America the condition of the prisoner should be the principle of least eligibility. Also Educational programs are probably the most important prison programs available for inmates. Because academic skills programs may also be a major contributing factor to develope practical knowledge in many areas. In addition vocational programs for inmates are thought to be the best vehicles for breaking the cycle of recidivism. These programs are aimed at providing inmates with contemporary marketable skills relating to specific jobs on the outside. Prison work for inmates consists of two general types of jobs : those that maintain the institution and industrial or productive in nature. Recreational programs are intended to encourage inmates to make constructive use of leisure time in America. Chaplains' main mission is to minister to inmates to help interaction of inmate and religious activities. This study concluded that desirable programs for inmates is education with humanity.

수형자들은 범행의도를 인정하고, 교정시설에서 그에 상응하는 벌을 받고 있는 사람들이다. 그러나 교정 프로그램은 수형자들이 범죄를 선택한 자유의지에 바탕을 둔 내적 변화보다는 상과 벌에 의한 외현적 행동수정을 우선적으로 추구한다. 그래서 처벌과 교정은 서로 일치하지 않는다. 범행의도에 의해서 별을 받는 수형자들에게 자유의지를 기본으로 하는 교정을 수행하기 위해서 실존주의 심리학적 접근이 타당하다. 실존주의 심리학적은 수형자들이 자신의 현존재를 솔직하게 받아들이게 하고, 자신이 세상에 존재하는 이유를 분명히 깨닭게 하고, 그리고 세상 을 자유롭게 설계할 수 있도록 도움을 줄 것이다.
