Hahn (criminal justice, Xavier U.) sees community policing and corrections, and restorative justice as the pillars of a new, proactive US criminal justice system. He emphasizes the prevention of crime in its early stages, alternative facilities that are as nonrestrictive as possible, careful consideration of the role of causality in the lives of those who commit crimes, an holistic view of the criminal justice system, and the use of secure incarceration only as a last resort.
