RESULTS OF A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF 1,278 PROBATION SUBSIDY AND NON-SUBSIDY CASES UNDERTAKEN TO DEVELOP NEW INFORMATION THAT MIGHT SHOW WHETHER OFFENDER TRAITS OR TREATMENT PROGRAMS MOST INFLUENCE OFFENDER OUTCOME.

Abstract

THE ARREST AND VIOLATION RATE DATA PRESENTED IN THIS REPORT SHOW THAT OFFENDER CHARACTERISTICS ARE MORE INFLUENTIAL IN THE OUTCOME OF PROBATION THAN IS THE TYPE OF PROGRAM. SUBSIDY CASELOADS WERE FOUND TO BE MORE ARREST PRONE BOTH DURING AND FOLLOWING PROBATION SUPERVISION THAN WERE NON-SUBSIDY CASES. THE ARREST LIABILITY FOR SUBSIDY CASES, WHETHER UNDER CLOSE OR REGULAR SUPERVISION DURING PROBATION, WAS FOUND TO BE ALMOST IDENTICAL. IN OTHER WORDS, THE ARREST EXPERIENCE OF SUBSIDY CASES NEITHER LESSENS OR INCREASES WHEN PLACED UNDER NON-SUBSIDY PROBATION SUPERVISION. SEVERAL TABLES OF DATA ON OFFENDER CHARACTERISTICS AND PROBATIONER ARRESTS ARE INCLUDED. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
