The primary objective was to examine the relationships\r\n among these factors: supervision costs, the collection of court costs,\r\n fines, and restitution, types of supervision, risk assessment, and\r\n probationer conduct for the population of probationers. Probationers\r\n were initially classified according to risk assessment and then\r\n randomly assigned to a supervision category. The probationer's risk\r\n potential was a numerical score derived from demographic background\r\n variables, prior record, and history of substance use. The DSCP\r\n (Degree of Successful Completion of Probation) was developed\r\n specifically to measure probationer conduct and to compare trends and\r\n relationships.  The variables examined in the study include: risk\r\n assessment at intake, supervision level assigned, number of times the\r\n probationer was assigned to probation, start and planned termination\r\n dates, date of last status change, status at termination, degree of\r\n successful completion of probation achieved, costs incurred in\r\n administering probation, and amounts collected from each probationer\r\n for court costs, restitution, and fines. Although data were collected\r\n on 7,072 misdemeanant probation experiences, there are only 2,756\r\n probationers included in the study. The remaining 4,316 cases were\r\n excluded due to failure of the probationer to show up for screening or\r\nfor other reasons that did not meet the research criteria.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR08259.v1", "title": "Cost Effectiveness of Misdemeanant Probation in Hamilton County, Ohio, 1981-1982"}], "identifier": "2809", "issued": "1985-10-09T00:00:00", "keyword": ["administrative costs", "cost effectiveness", "court costs", "criminal justice system", "probation", "probation conditions", "program evaluation", "restitution programs", "risk assessment", "supervised liberty"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-01-18T00:00:00", "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": "Cost Effectiveness of Misdemeanant Probation in Hamilton County, Ohio, 1981-1982"}
