About this Key Statistic |
Probationers are offenders under adult supervision who are placed on supervision in the community by the court, generally as an alternative to incarceration. However, some jurisdictions also sentence probationers to a combined short-term incarceration sentence immediately followed by probation, which is referred to as a split sentence. Probationers can have a number of different supervision statuses, including active supervision, which means they are required to regularly report to a probation authority in person, by mail, by telephone, or electronically. Some probationers may be on an inactive status, which means they are excluded from regularly reporting.
