In contrast to imprisonment correction, community correction, being an economic,effective and moral method of sentence execution, represents the punishment executionsystem and reform direction in China. Therefore, community correction plays a significantrole in innovation of social management system and is aiming to make full use of all socialpower, to ensure social prisoners have settled down in communities and to enhance educationcorrective and supporting services in order to help them return to society positively. SinceCommunity Correction Plan has been launched in China in2003, some success has beenachieved through the promotion and efforts of local governments, functional authorities andsocial forces; however, some problems are still remained, for example, lag in legislation,uncoordinated communication among governmental authorities and non-practical correctivemeasures, etc. Under current political system, how to urge the Government and its functionalauthorities to play an effective role and to mobilize fully the enthusiasm of social forces inlaunching community correction activities, in order to reach the goals of helping socialprisoners return to society and to realize legal, social and economic value, has become anurgent topic for research and discussion.Since Community Correction Project was launched in Xinhui District in August2008, alot of practical work and procedures of exploration and review in regard to CommunityCorrection Project has been carried out continuously based on successful experience ofsurrounding areas; therefore, we have gained a lot of experience with own characteristics andhave formed a relatively complete operation and management system.
