Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The use of ISP (Intensive Supervision Probation) is primarily based on the rehabilitative approach to criminal justice, which focuses on addressing the underlying causes of criminal behavior and helping offenders reintegrate into society. Increased contact through ISP can provide support and resources to help the offender change their behavior, rather than simply focusing on punishment and incapacitation (Option D). While surveillance (Option C) is part of ISP, it is not the main goal. Restorative justice (Option A) is a different approach to criminal justice, which focuses on repairing harm caused by criminal behavior to victims and communities rather than punishment or rehabilitation, and is not directly related to the use of ISP.
