Community Corrections in the western developed countries have now reached the stage of maturity, while in China it still in a relatively early stage, many questions have yet to be studied. A prominent problem is the study of legal orientation of Community Corrections workers is not deep or systematic enough. Community Corrections is a non-custodial sentence of implementation which to achieve re-socialization of prisoners into the goal.
