Answer: Lack of evidence that the offender was actually guilty
Explanation:
Intermediate sanctions do not involve the person going to prison but they are quite intrusive as they include (but are not limited to): intensive supervision and electronic monitoring. Most people believe they should be used as punishment for nonviolent <u>crime</u>.
The keyword above is ''crime''. If there is a lack of evidence that a person committed a crime then they are presumed innocent which means they did not commit the crime in question and so do not qualify for intermediate sanctions.
a concurring opinion is in certain legal systems a written opinion by one or more judges of a court which agrees with the decision made by the majority of the court, but states different or additional reasons as the basis for their decision.
