The ideology of correctional institutions is divided into the following methods, namely punishment, prevention, and rehabilitation. Over time, these methods with delinquency have changed like a pendulum in American history (Allen et al., 2016). Correctional ideology is reflected in the swinging pendulum analogy because the history of criminal justice in the United States shows the oscillation between severe judicial discretion and mild rehabilitation.
The pendulum model illustrates how justice has changed over the past two decades. One example of the pendulum model includes recent attempts to reduce criminal penalties. In addition, over the past two decades, people have fought against severe penalties in areas such as sentencing laws and the increased use of solitary confinement. Also, fluctuations in the U. S. death penalty justice illustrate how much the justice system is changing. Justice either abolishes the death penalty at the federal level or partially restores it. Another recent correlative policing has been concerning the punishment of federal drug-related crimes, which in turn has reduced inequality in sentences for crimes.
Additionally, The U. S. prison population is declining due to a change in the judicial system that has helped people avoid harsh jail sentences over the past decade through alternative measures. Alternatives to incarceration, or rather rehabilitation, may reduce crime rates by better dealing with the causes and consequences of crimes.
Analysis of criminal justice correlations shows that the pendulum is moving towards providing the same rights and services for offenders and citizens, for example, the abolition of the death penalty. Therefore, criminal justice addresses the problem of correcting the pendulum in an effort to balance the rights of perpetrators of crimes with the norms and needs of society. Over the past 20 years, there have been notable changes in the US justice system concerning the practice of sentencing and corrections.
