This research examines the relative cost effectiveness of community corrections, pro bation, and incarceration as alternative means of treating convicted offenders Using three different measures of recidivism, probation is found to be most cost effective in the very short run (when all factor inputs are fixed), in the short run (some factor inputs are variable), and in the long run (all factor inputs are variable). Although incarceration is more efficient than community corrections in the very short run, the reverse is true in the short and long runs.
