Community correction is a foreign word, and it is a criminal law enforcement mode first implemented in western countries. In 2003, China began the pilot work of community correction, and in 2009, it was fully tried out in the whole country. The so-called community correction refers to a non-custodial penalty execution method corresponding to the execution of imprisonment, that is, criminals who meet the legal conditions are placed in the community, and the specialized state organs, with the assistance of relevant departments, social organizations and volunteers, will keep them from leaving the society and correct their criminal psychology and behavior habits within the time limit determined by judgments, rulings or decisions. At present, the objects of community correction in China include five kinds of criminals who are sentenced to public surveillance, declared probation, ruled parole, temporarily executed outside prison and deprived of political rights to serve their sentences in society.

Second, the main difficulties and solutions faced by the community correction system in practice:

1, the pilot work of community correction in China is aimed at five objects: "control, probation, parole, execution outside prison and deprivation of political rights, which are specifically implemented by public security organs. However, in practice, although the rectification work has set up a rectification team, the specific work is concentrated in the Judicial Bureau and its subordinate judicial offices. When these judicial administrative organs exercise their functions and powers, there are neither explicit provisions of laws nor government documents, only the Notice on Launching the Pilot Work of Community Correction, the Notice on Expanding the Pilot Scope of Community Correction and the Opinions on Launching the Pilot Work of Community Correction in China issued in 2009. In the United States, many states have formulated their own special community correction laws. Take Oregon as an example, the community correction law of the state has detailed provisions on the establishment of correction institutions, the responsibilities of correction personnel, and the relationship between counties and States in community correction work. It is an urgent task to establish and improve the relevant legal system of community correction and introduce feasible laws and regulations as soon as possible. First, amend the current criminal law, prison law and public security punishment law; The second is to formulate the Law on Community Correction, to clarify the nature, position and applicable object of community correction in China's penalty system, and to clarify the law enforcement subject, applicable conditions and procedures of community correction; Clarify the coordination and cooperation mechanism between correctional institutions and public, procuratorial and legal organs.

2. The connection between grass-roots judicial units and courts is not perfect. For example, the people's court directly decides to control or suspend the sentence, and within seven days after the judgment takes effect, the people's court sends the relevant legal documents by express mail to the grassroots judicial bureau where the criminal has long lived, but it cannot be delivered in time due to objective reasons; For example, when the grass-roots court decides to suspend the sentence, it is often the case that the person sentenced to probation does not arrive at his place of residence or changes his place of residence to avoid correction. Regarding the connection in practice, the author thinks that the court can be suggested to specify the delivery date, and the basic files of the community correction object can be delivered to the judicial bureau in time by court express, or learn from the practice of some district and county courts, and the judgment documents and basic files of the correction object can be received by the judicial office in court;
