STATISTICS ARE PRESENTED ON THE NUMBER, TYPES, AND DISPOSITIONS OF ARRESTS OF ALL PAROLEES IN NEW JERSEY AND IN OTHER STATES WHO ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NEW JERSEY BUREAU OF PAROLE.

Abstract

IT IS NOTED THAT ALTHOUGH ALL OF THE RECORDED ARRESTS OCCURRED DURING THE PERIOD OF JULY 1, 1976 THROUGH JUNE 30, 1977, MANY WERE NOT COMPLETELY ADJUDICATED UNTIL AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE FISCAL YEAR. FOR THIS REASON, THE REPORT IS PREPARED 1 YEAR THEREAFTER IN ORDER TO RECORD AS MANY DISPOSITIONS AS POSSIBLE. THE ARRESTS AS REPORTED BY THE NINE DISTRICT PAROLE OFFICES AND THE FORMER OUT-OF-STATE UNIT OF THE BUREAU OF PAROLE, RESULTED FROM VIOLATIONS OF THE CONDITIONS OF PAROLE (TECHNICAL VIOLATIONS) OR COMMITTING NEW OFFENSES; I.E., OF MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES, AND STATE OR FEDERAL STATUTES. THE DATA INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: NUMBER OF PAROLEES ARRESTED AND THE NUMBER OF ARRESTS, DISPOSITION OF RECORDED ARRESTS FOR NEW OFFENSES, DISPOSITION OF ARRESTS FOR TECHNICAL PAROLE VIOLATIONS, AGE AT TIME OF ARREST AND LENGTH OF TIME ON PAROLE WHEN ARRESTED, AND TYPES OF ARRESTS. THE BUREAU WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUPERVISION OF 12,489 PAROLEES IN THE FISCAL YEAR 1976-1977. DURING THAT YEAR, THERE WERE 4,188 REMOVED FROM PAROLE AND 4,309 RECEIVED ON PAROLE, RESULTING IN A NET INCREASE OF 121 (1.5 PERCENT) OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THERE WAS AN AVERAGE OF 8,296 ON PAROLE AT ANY GIVEN TIME DURING THE YEAR. THE RATE OF ARRESTS FOR TECHNICAL PAROLE VIOLATIONS HAS NOT FLUCTUATED MORE THAN 1 PERCENT OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS. DURING THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME, THERE HAS BEEN NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF THOSE ARRESTED FOR VIOLATION OF LOCAL ORDINANCES, MOTOR VEHICLE LAWS, OR AS MATERIAL WITNESSES. OF ALL ARRESTS, 59 PERCENT OCCURRED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR ON PAROLE, 72 PERCENT WITHIN 18 MONTHS, AND 93 PERCENT WITHIN 3 YEARS ON PAROLE. A TOTAL OF 4,422 INDIVIDUALS ACCOUNTED FOR ALL OF THE 6,221 ARRESTS. OTHER CONCLUSIONS ARE PRESENTED IN SUMMARY FORM, IN ADDITION TO THE TABULAR DATA. (RCB)
