Based on information and examples from 29 jurisdictions, this
handbook guides probation and parole agency policy teams through
a series of activities to help them develop their own set of
policies for responding to parole and probation violations. |
| Abstract:
|
The guidance provided in this handbook is derived from onsite
technical assistance provided to the 29 jurisdictions over a
period of 12 years by the National Institute of Corrections of
the U.S. Justice Department. The first chapter of the handbook
presents an overview of critical issues related to probation and
parole violations. Issues addressed include the community
corrections dilemma, prison and jail crowding, workload,
responding to violations in a timely fashion, consistency and
equity in responding to violations, defining success as a goal of
supervision, and redefining the vision of community corrections.
Each subsequent chapter addresses a key step in understanding or
addressing different aspects of responding to violations. The
chapters guide parole and probation agencies in forming a team of
key individuals to work on probation and parole violation
responses and in examining the extent and impact of violations on
the criminal justice system and the community. Guidance is also
provided in understanding violations in the context of the goals
of supervision, in establishing clear goals for the violations
process, and in formulating policy to guide the violations
process, as well as in developing methods to implement this
policy. Further, policy teams are offered suggestions for
examining the range of responses to violation behavior and
determining how best to use or expand that range when necessary
and practical. Guidelines are presented for monitoring the impact
of these polices and for understanding the potential outcomes
that result from clear, policy-driven responses to violation
behavior. 14 diagrams, 6 exercises, and 37 exhibits |
