Abstract

ABSTRACT Social support has long been acknowledged for mitigating stress and enhancing personal well-being. Despite the increasing attention to this area of research, there remains a considerable variation in how social support is defined and measured in existing studies. To gain a more thorough understanding of the role of social support for community corrections offenders, a systematic review was conducted, scouring studies published between January 2000 and December 2023 across five databases: Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and Criminal Justice s. Sixteen studies met the eligibility criteria. The majority of these studies indicated that social support effectively alleviated the challenges faced by community corrections offenders, although there were some conflicting findings between different studies. Nonetheless, as a whole, social support can still be viewed as an effective means to address the difficulties encountered by community corrections offenders.
