Swift and Certain Sanctions

Please join the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) webinar, The Evidence Behind Swift and Certain Sanctions, on Monday, November 10 at 3 p.m. EDT. The webinar will explore the effects of swift and certain sanctions and highlight one local and one statewide project that have substantially implemented the model as part of their community supervision strategies.

The Evidence Behind Swift and Certain Sanctions in Community Supervision

Historically, many community supervision agencies have had few meaningful intermediate sanctions for when offenders are found in violation; agencies have had the unenviable task of trying to improve offender accountability with few tools to increase compliance. In an effort to enhance offender accountability, many localities over the last decade have tested programs to improve the speed and certainty of intermediate sanctions.
