The commission studied and issued recommendations on the following criminal justice issues: alternatives to incarceration, crime in schools, crime and the elderly, spouse abuse, off-duty wearing of uniforms, and others.
Abstract
It recommended that alternatives to incarceration be expanded and incentives provided localities to use these alternatives (particularly for felons and public inebriates), that ex-offenders receive more services, and that minicomputers be set up in the corrections department. The commission is also concerned that the Parole Board hold hearings in local jails and not transfer inmates into the State system for hearings. The report cites other suggestions and outlines those implemented over the years.
