Abstract

EVALUATORS COMPUTED THE OCST-PER-CASE FOR PROBATION AND PRE-PAROLE INVESTIGATIONS AND FOUND THAT THE LARGE DIFFERENCE WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE DIFFERENCE IN THE SCOPE OF THE INVESTIGATION. RECIDIVISM RATES ARE COMPARED BETWEEN FIRST-TIME PROBATIONERS WHO HAD BEEN EXPOSED TO THE NEW INTAKE PROCESS AND THOSE WHO HAD NOT. SEE ALSO NCJ-26167.
