There is a wide range of sanctions used by the criminal justice
system to punish criminal offenders including death, imprisonment
and community supervision. All of these sanctions involve a social
institution exerting direct social control over an individual
either through loss of life or liberty or via constant supervision.
And even after a prison sentence or community supervision term has
ended there are continuing penalties, for while a prison term may
be completed the label of "convicted felon" last a lifetime. A
unique Florida law affords judges the discretion to withhold
adjudication for felony offenders sentenced to probation. This
sentencing option allows offenders to avoid the label of "convicted
felon" and retain all rights normally lost upon felony conviction
within the state of Florida, including the right to vote and carry
fire arms. This book investigates the individual and social
contingencies which impact the withholding of adjudication from a
social threat and social control perspective.
