ANNOTATION: “This brief examines Maine’s sentencing practices during the pilot project, [the implementation of “a series of evidence-based principles in community corrections with the goal of improving the effectiveness of offender management in the community”], for adult probationers entering probation between 2004 and 2007” (p. 1). Topics discussed include: who received a split sentence; split-sentences in Maine are more likely to be given to more serious offenders; probationers receiving split-sentences re-offended at a higher rate; recidivism is more likely for lower risk felony offenders receiving a split-sentence; and implications.
