Abstract:
|
It lists the States with the largest and smallest parole and probation populations and the largest and smallest rates of community supervision, and identifies the States with the largest increase. The bulletin also describes the race and gender of these populations and reports the percentages of parolees and probationers completing community supervision successfully, or failing because of a rule violation or a new offense. Highlights include the following: (1) the adult probation population grew 0.5 percent in 2005, which was an increase of 19,070 probationers or the smallest increase in the last 26 years; (2) about 50 percent of all probationers had been convicted of a felony, 49 percent of a misdemeanor, and 1 percent of other infractions--28 percent were on probation for a drug law violation and 15 percent for driving while intoxicated; and (3) in 2005 the Nation’s parole population grew 1.6 percent, which was an increase of 12,556 parolees during the year.
