The aim of the study was to obtain basic\r\n information about policies and procedures of probation and parole\r\n agencies with respect to adult sex offender case management.  State\r\n corrections administrators in 49 states and the District of Columbia\r\n were contacted to supply information on their states' probation and\r\n parole offices and the corresponding jurisdictions. From these\r\n offices, probation and parole supervisors at the office-management\r\n level were selected as survey respondents because of their familiarity\r\n with the day-to-day office operations. Respondents were asked about\r\n the usage of various supervision methods, such as electronic\r\n monitoring, requiring offenders on probation or parole to register\r\n with law enforcement agencies, and polygraph testing. Sanctions such\r\n as requiring the offenders to seek treatment and forbidding contact\r\n with the victim were discussed, as were various queries about the\r\n handling of the victim in the case (whether a written statement by the\r\n victim was routinely included in the offender's file, whether officers\r\n usually had contact with the victim, and whether there was a system\r\n for advising victims of status changes for the offender). Other\r\n questions focused on whether the office used specialized assessments,\r\n caseloads, programs, and policies for sex offenders that differed from\r\n those used for other offenders. Various issues regarding treatment for\r\n offenders were also examined: who chooses and pays the treatment\r\n provider, whether the agency or the court approves treatment\r\n providers, what criteria are involved in approval, and whether the\r\noffice had an in-house sex offender treatment program.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR06627.v1", "title": "Management of Sex Offenders by Probation and Parole Agencies in the United States, 1994"}], "identifier": "2879", "issued": "1996-10-01T00:00:00", "keyword": ["parole", "policies and procedures", "probation", "sex offender registration", "sex offenders", "sex offenses", "treatment"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2005-11-04T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Management of Sex Offenders by Probation and Parole Agencies in the United States, 1994"}
