✦ Synopsis
It has become evident that providing a continuum of community correctional sanctions may be as important as the very existence of such sanctions at all. Too often sentencing judges are limited to the use of one or two correctional options in addition to incarceration, even on the juvenile level. This article presents an in-depth analysis of a medium-sized midwestern county's use of several different community correctional sanctions, which provide a multistaged continuum in the juvenile justice system. The logistic statistical analyses indicate what the significant predictors were at each decision point.
