Abstract:
The authors present recent changes to probation on a national scale, detailing whether trends in probation reform are altering the scope and reach of probation in terms of sentence limits, conditions, fees and restitution, and termination. They also examine whether the proposed legislation will likely increase, decrease, or have an unknown or neutral effect on the size of the probation population, and whether it could affect the scope or reach of probation.
