A COMPARISON OF ARREST RATES FOR 122 CALIFORNIA SUBSIDY PROBATIONERS, 243 CALIFORNIA YOUTH AUTHORITY PAROLEES, AND 321 CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS PAROLE CASES TO DETERMINE TREATMENT EFFECTS ON ARREST PRONENESS.

Abstract

ARREST DATA WAS COLLECTED FOR EACH OF THESE GROUPS FOR A PERIOD OF 20 MONTHS, ALLOWING EQUAL PERIODS OF EXPOSURE TO ARREST FOR THE THREE SAMPLES. THE ARREST DATA PRESENTED IN THIS REPORT SHOW THAT THE PROPORTIONS OF CASES HAVING AT LEAST ONE ARREST WERE ABOUT THE SAME WHETHER RELATED TO A SUBSIDY PROBATION OR A PAROLE CASELOAD. IN TERMS OF GROUP TRAINTS, COMBINED PAROLE CASELOADS WERE SIMILAR TO SUBSIDY PROBATION CASELOADS EXCEPT FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC OF PRIOR CRIMINAL RECORDS. WHEN COMPARED TO NON-SUBSIDY OR CONVENTIONAL PROBATIONERS STUDIED IN AN EARLIER RESEARCH REPORT, THE ARREST RATES PER 100 MONTHS OF SUPERVISION FOR SUBSIDY PROBATION (10.7), CALIFORNIA YOUTH AUTHORITY (8.3) AND CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS (7.2) SAMPLE CASELOADS WERE CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN THAT FOUND FOR THE CONVENTIONAL PROBATIONERS (4.9).
