COST AND RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS OF CORRECTIONAL STANDARDS RELATING TO ADULT COMMUNITY-BASED SUPERVISION (E.G., PROBATION, RESTITUTION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICE) ARE EXAMINED.

Abstract

STANDARDS USED AS A BASIS FOR THIS ANALYSIS ARE THOSE CONTAINED IN THE 'CORRECTIONS REPORT' OF THE NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMISSION ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE STANDARDS AND GOALS (NAC). THE ANALYSIS OF COMMUNITY-BASED SUPERVISION IN THIS VOLUME IS PRESENTED IN SIX CHAPTERS. THE FIRST IS A BRIEF BACKGROUND OF THE CORRECTIONS STANDARDS RELATING TO ADULT COMMUNITY-BASED SUPERVISION. THE SECOND CHAPTER DEVOTES FULL ATTENTION TO THE FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION OF PROBATION RESOURCES AND INCLUDES A MODEL FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF PROBATION RESOURCES AND THE ALIGNMENT OF FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION ACCORDING TO THE CORRECTIONS REPORT. THIS ORGANIZATIONAL MODEL DIVIDES THE PROBATION FUNCTION INTO THREE SUBUNITS: ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES, SERVICES TO THE COURT, AND SERVICES TO THE CLIENT. CHAPTERS 3, 4, AND 5 CONTAIN THE FINDINGS OF THE COST ANALYSIS FOR PROBATION, RESTITUTION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICE. THE FINAL CHAPTER CONTAINS THE PROJECT CONCLUSIONS AND SUMMARIZES THE FINDINGS OF THE ANALYSIS. FOR THE FIRST VOLUME OF THIS REPORT, SEE NCJ-40533. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
