Abstract As vanguards of promoting grassroots rule of law construction， judicial offices play important roles in community correction. However， empirical research has found that judicial offices are currently facing multiple dilemmas in fulfilling their community correction responsibilities， such as a severe shortage of correctional personnel， excessive supervision but insufficient rehabilitation， lack of individualized and advanced approaches， disjointed collaboration and insufficient incentives， and inadequate foundational support. These dilemmas stem from misconceptions about the nature and function of community corrections， cognitive biases toward correctional subjects， and the overloaded legal mandates of judicial offices. To address these issues， on the basis of weakening the punitive nature of community corrections， establishing a philosophy prioritizing rehabilitation over supervision， eliminating stigmatic labels on correctional subjects and optimizing the functional positioning of judicial offices， we should strengthen the construction of the correction team and build an effective platform for social forces to participate； adopt a human-centered flexible correction model that focuses on education and support； innovate individualized correction methods to resolve workflow bottlenecks； improve the work mechanisms for community corrections and promote collaborative governance among all stakeholders； increase investment in community correction， ensure the implementation of correction work at the grassroots level， and thus build a solid foundation for grassroots rule of law construction.
