Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Split sentencing is a sentencing option that involves a combination of a term of imprisonment followed by a probationary period. This allows the offender to serve their time in prison and then have a chance to demonstrate their ability to live responsibly in the community under supervision. It is different from parole, which is early release from prison with supervision. This option falls under the category of community corrections and can be considered an intervention. Evaluation is a process of measuring the effectiveness of interventions but is not specific to this type of sentencing.
