Since the latter part of the 195questionaires, there has been a growing emphasis on bringing more citizens into correctional affairs; the extent of such involvement is relatively small. An important reason is a failure to recognize the varying roles which citizens can play in corrections & the diff strategies which must be employed to recruit them & maintain their participation. 4 key roles can be identified: (1) the correctional volunteer, those who work directly with correctional clients; (2) the soc persuader, persons of influence in the dominant soc system who are willing to persuade others to support correctional programs; (3) the gatekeepers of opportunities, custodians of access to important soc instit's; & (4) the intimates, members of offenders' traditional peer groups & their communities. Each of these roles induces supportive & resistant forces within the correctional system. These must be successfully manipulated if widespread citizen participation is to be achieved. HA.
