Abstract: 

The Center for Court Innovation, based in New York City, recently joined the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance to conduct “a probing examination of the kinds of failures where decent, well intentioned people attempted to achieve something noble and difficult but fell short of their objectives for whatever reason” (Berman, 2007, p. 1). Also of interest are two other valuable articles: one a roundtable discussion on a project that failed (Brenner & Campbell, 2005) and one based on the Center for Court Innovation’s probe (Berman et al., 2007). In this article, Immarigeon describes and responds to aspects of these valuable contributions to the field of community corrections.
