Responding to Parole and Probation Violations. A Handbook to Guide Local PolicyDevelopment

摘要

This handbook is the culmination of 12 years of work in 29 jurisdictions acrossthe Nation. Beginning in 1988, the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) sponsored its first training and technical assistance project to address the issue of parole violations. This project--and the five that followed--assisted jurisdictions in examining their violation practices and developing policy to guide future responses to violation behavior. The focus of the six efforts was on creating explicit policy to guide the use of intermediate responses for some types of technical violations. The efforts soon grew beyond parole to include probation.
