For the fourth consecutive year, the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) has conducted an international consultation to gain a better understanding of the challenges nations face in their correctional organizations and the strategies used to address them. Each consultation has a different focus, with previous surveys exploring areas such as ageing infrastructure, rapid technological development, offender heath, and operational issues (2015, 2016, 2017). In anticipation of the 2018 Annual International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) conference which will have as its theme community reintegration, the focus of the present consultation is to better understand the community reintegration policies and practices being used globally. Purpose -- CSC conducted an international consultation to develop a broader understanding of the community reintegration challenges faced by correctional organizations and to learn about the innovative policy and practice changes being used currently and planned for the future to address these issues. The international consultation was completed in collaboration with CSC's Intergovernmental Relations Division, CSC's Strategic Policy and Planning Division, and representatives from the ICPA. Procedure -- The 2018 International Survey of Correctional Services was developed and disseminated by staff at CSC's Research Branch in collaboration the Intergovernmental Relations Division. It was available in English and French, and could be completed online or on paper. The survey was comprised of both multiple choice and open-ended questions. Given the survey's focus on community reintegration, central challenges in this area were identified and questions specific to each challenge were developed. The resultant survey was organized based on the following three overarching areas of challenge: (1) community reintegration tools and intervention capacity; (2) community capacity; and (3) governance issues, including performance measurement, 2 evaluation, and research. The target sample included approximately 170 international correctional organizations affiliated with the ICPA, as well as Canadian provincial and territorial departments. Respondents were able to access the survey between May 18th and July 13th, 2018. A total of 14 correctional organizations representing eight countries responded to the survey (see the Appendix for a list of participating organizations). As in previous years, the majority of responses were received from individuals at the executive-level of their organization (64%), followed by those at the senior management-level (29%) and those in "other" roles/rankings (7%). The respondent who selected "other" specified that they were the National Director of their organization. Details: Ottawa: Author, 2018. 19p.
