Question

Which of the following is NOT a reason for implementing Intermediate Sanctions?

Answer 1

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 crime.

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.
