Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intermediate sanctions, such as electronic monitoring and community service, are typically used for offenders who are deemed to be at a moderate or high risk of reoffending but are not appropriate for incarceration. However, despite their effectiveness in reducing recidivism and promoting rehabilitation, they are not widely used and represent only a small portion of all offenders sentenced to community supervision. Most offenders receive traditional forms of community supervision, such as probation and parole.
