Examining the “On the Books” Versus “In the Field” Impacts of Probation Reform
More than 3 million adults are under community supervision in the US. Large probation populations and probation’s net-widening effects have motivated reform mobilizing interdependent actors. In Georgia, Senate Bill (SB) 174 created early discharge pathways that involved review by the Department of Community Supervision (DCS), including officers and an automated algorithm, and circuit judges. SB105, passed in 2021, strengthened SB174’s mandates. W…
Community Supervision Officers’ Perceptions of Risk and Desistance Among Clients on Probation or Parole
A key component of community supervision officers’ (CSOs) roles is to support clients on probation or parole, assessing them for risk of re-offending and indicators of desistance. To better understand officers’ discretionary decision-making, we conducted nine virtual focus group interviews with a total of 48 CSOs across one state; analyses of these interviews yielded two main themes. The first theme captured officers’ perceptions of signs of risk…
When Pre-Release Optimism Meets Post-Release Reality
In the identity theory of desistance, optimism is important to individual transformation. Yet unfounded optimism could be detrimental in reentry. This study developed and tested a typology of the direction and accuracy of pre-release expectations. Using longitudinal data collected pre- and post-release from 369 men and women released from prison or jail in six states, we assessed which patterns (realistic optimism, unrealistic optimism, realistic…
Drug decriminalization policy under the microscope in the United States
When voters passed the 2020 Ballot Measure 110 (M110), the U.S. State of Oregon changed course from a criminal legal system response to a health-centered approach to substance use. M110 was passed with the goal of making health assessment screenings, treatment, and recovery services for substance use disorder available to all who need them and reduce the harms associated with involving the criminal legal system for people who use drugs. Although …
Testing Predictive Biases at the Intersection of Race-Ethnicity and Sex
Pretrial assessment instruments provide courtroom actors with information about the likelihood that someone who has been charged with a criminal offense would engage in criminal behavior if released prior to trial. Although prior research supports the ability of pretrial instruments to predict pretrial outcomes, there are concerns that pretrial instruments may inadvertently exacerbate racial-ethnic and sex disparities found in the larger criminal…
The Association of Traumatic Brain Injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, and criminal recidivism
Reimagining Pretrial & Sentencing
In this article, we discuss the evolution of criminal justice reform efforts focused on pretrial and sentencing policies and practices that resulted in unprecedented rates of incarceration. There is an urgent need to identify a strategy of pretrial justice and sentencing that will reduce crime and victimization, ameliorate unwarranted disparities, and reclaim human capital currently lost to incarceration. A discussion of proposed policy reforms s…
To Rehabilitate or Not to Rehabilitate
In this article, we review the recommendations on corrections made by the U.S. President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice under President Johnson in 1967 and compare these with the changes made in U.S. corrections over the past 50 years. Shortly after the Commission completed its report, dramatic changes occurred that impacted correctional policy and practice as support for law and order and correctional control moved…
Economic Evaluation of the Hope Demonstration Field Experiment
Research Summary In the program implemented in the Honest Opportunity Probation with Enforcement Demonstration Field Experiment (HOPE DFE), the following approach is taken: close monitoring; frequent drug testing; readily available substance abuse treatment; and swift, certain, and fair sanctioning to deter probationers from violating supervision conditions. We assessed in this study the costs and outcomes of the demonstration program across four…
Evaluating the Long-Term Effects of Prisoner Reentry Services on Recidivism
We analyzed data collected for a large multi-site evaluation of 12 prisoner reentry programs in 12 states to examine the impact of pre-release services on time to rearrest and number of rearrests up to 56 months post-release for male offenders. A two-stage matching quasi-experimental design was used to define the comparison groups and multivariate models were used to examine the relationships among service and program receipt and recidivism. Part…
Outcome Findings from the Hope Demonstration Field Experiment
Research Summary More than 1,500 probationers in four sites were randomly assigned to probation as usual (PAU) or to Honest Opportunity Probation with Enforcement (HOPE), which is modeled on Hawaii's Opportunity Probation with Enforcement (Hawaii HOPE) program that emphasizes close monitoring; frequent drug testing; and swift, certain, and fair (SCF) sanctioning. It also reserves scarce treatment resources for those most in need. The four sites o…
Factors driving Salvadoran youth migration
Estimating Labor Trafficking Among Farmworkers
The lack of knowledge on the magnitude of the human-trafficking problem regionally and internationally remains the weakest link in the current countertrafficking movement and has given rise to estimates and unsubstantiated claims. However, difficult-to-count populations such as trafficking victims pose significant sampling challenges for social scientists because a sampling frame cannot be reliably established. As a result, field researchers ofte…
Evaluating the Juvenile Breaking the Cycle Program's impact on recidivism
Predicting the Recidivism of Serious Youthful Offenders Using Survival Models
Increases over the past decade in the number and seriousness of crimes committed by young offenders have resulted in renewed interest in control of the serious, violent, or chronic youthful offender. Recent research has established a number of theoretically relevant variables associated with persistent offending and offending defined recidivism. Few studies, however, have examined the individual characteristics that might predict the timing of yo…
