The goals of the community punishment and corrections act are:
(1) To promote accountability of offenders to their local community by requiring direct financial restitution to be made to victims of crime and that community service be made to local governments and community agencies representing the community;
(2) To provide a safe, cost-efficient, community punishment and correctional program which provides punishments through the development of a range of sanctions and community services available for the judge at sentencing;
(3) To reduce the number of offenders committed to correctional institutions and jails by punishing such offenders in alternative punishment settings;
(4) To provide opportunities for offenders demonstrating special needs to receive services that enhance their abilities to provide for their families and become contributing members of their community; and
(5) To encourage the involvement of local officials and leading citizens in their local punishment and correctional system.
