Inroads to Reducing Federal Recidivism

Abstract: 

Information in this article demonstrates that, controlling for risk of the population, both rearrest and revocation rates are decreasing for the federal post-conviction supervision system as a whole. This suggests that despite the increase in risk of the federal post-conviction supervision population, probation officers are improving their abilities to manage risk and provide rehabilitative interventions.
