Abstract
The field of corrections generally, and community supervision in particular, badly need to articulate their goals and to adopt strategies and means of administration consistent with those goals. This article traces briefly the implication of two models for corrections and argues for a Risk Control model with certain characteristics. Based on a decade of work in field agencies, it suggests specific means by which the model can be implemented in community supervision agencies so that discretion is appropriately controlled while the aims of the model are pursued.
