Item A rapid review of literature on factors associated with adult probation revocations(Taylor & Francis, 2022) Diaz, Carmen L.; Rising, Staci; Grommon, Eric; Northcutt Bohmert, Miriam; Lowder, Evan MarieCriminal justice stakeholders have increasingly relied on probation supervision as an alternative to incarceration and yet, probation revocations often result in incarceration. As such, increased understanding of the mechanisms behind revocations and strategies to reduce them is critical. We conduct a rapid review of the literature on factors associated with probation revocations. Specifically, we review 50 articles on how probation officer behavior, officer-client relationships, caseload size, supervision intensity, monetary sanctions, probation client characteristics, or programming and services are associated with probation revocations. Though the literature is limited, and findings are mixed, the most consistent findings indicate that officer-client relationships involving trust, support, respect, and empathy as well as reduced caseload sizes and cognitive behavioral therapy programs are associated with probation success while intensive supervision programs; greater monetary sanctions and nonpayment of those sanctions; and being Black and less educated are associated with poorer supervision outcomes. Implications for future research, policy, and practice are discussed.Item Patterns of Compliance and Noncompliance During Probation: Identifying Pathways to Probation Revocation(2022) Lowder, Evan; Northcutt Bohmert, Miriam; Diaz, Carmen; Ying, Michelle; Grommon, Eric; Hatfield, TroyPrior research has explored factors associated with probation outcomes, but few studies have examined pathways of noncompliance leading to probation failure. We conducted social sequence analysis to identify trajectories of compliance and noncompliance in a sample of 4,389 probationers in Monroe County, Indiana. Our findings showed full compliance was the most common probation trajectory and a single failure to appear (FTA) the most common pattern of noncompliance. In addition to a new offense during probation, repeated patterns of FTA and substance use noncompliance were associated with higher revocation rates. Recurrent patterns of technical violations, particularly for substance use, may function as an important pathway to revocation. Supervision strategies that intervene to address recurrent noncompliance may help agencies reduce revocation rates.Item Reducing probation revocations challenge (2021): Monroe County, Indiana(Indiana University, 2021) Northcutt Bohmert, Miriam; Hatfield, Troy; Ying, Michelle; Grommon, Eric; Lowder, Evan; School of Public and Environmental AffairsItem Reducing probation revocations challenge (2021): Strategies to reduce revocations in Monroe County, Indiana(Indiana University Public Policy Institute, 2021) Northcutt Bohmert, Miriam; Hatfield, Troy; Ying, Michelle; Grommon, Eric; Lowder, Evan; School of Public and Environmental AffairsItem Reducing probation revocations challenge: Monroe County, Indiana(Indiana University Public Policy Institute, 2021) Northcutt Bohmert, Miriam; Hatfield, Troy; Ying, Michelle; Grommon, Eric; Lowder, EvanItem Reducting probation revocations challenge: Strategies to reduce revocations in Monroe County, Indiana(Indiana University Public Policy Institute, 2021) Northcutt Bohmert, Miriam; Hatfield, Troy; Ying, Michelle; Grommon, Eric; Lowder, Evan
