Alternatives to imprisonment include diversionary schemes for defendants, probation or suspended sentences for convicted offenders and parole or early release for prisoners. They are relatively low-cost sanctions and measures that do not consume prison space (see Groves, 2017). | Publication Type: | Entry In Reference Work | Source of Publication: | The Encyclopedia of Rural Crime, p. 215-217 | Publisher: | Bristol University Press | Place of Publication: | Bristol, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9781529222029 9781529222036 9781529222005 |
