Data Collection: 1995 Survey of Adults on Probation (SAP)
Frequency: 1995Latest data available: 1995
The 1995 Survey of Adults on Probation obtained for the first time detailed data on the background and characteristics of a nationally representative sample of 2.5 million adults on probation in 1995. Specific topics of information include demographic characteristics, criminal history, prior drug and alcohol use, participation in drug and alcohol treatment programs, use of firearms, victim characteristics, the conditions of supervision, and the extent of contact with probation authorities. This survey was conducted one time in 1995 and was comprised of two components: a) a review of probationers' administrative records and b) personal interviews with probationers. The administrative records sample consisted of official records of nearly 6,000 adults under probation supervision in 167 state and local probation offices nationwide. The personal interview sample consisted of a total of 2,030 completed interviews with probationers under supervision in 101 state and local probation offices nationwide.

| Methodology | |
In the first of two survey components, probation office staff used administrative records to complete a records check form for a nationally representative sample of nearly 6,000 adults formally sentenced to probation in 167 state and local probation offices nationwide. In the second component, U.S. Census Bureau staff completed personal interviews with a sample of 2,030 probationers in 101 probation offices. The personal interview sample was a subset of the records check sample. Because probationers on inactive supervision were excluded from the personal interview sample, the personal interview component represents a somewhat smaller share of the nation's probationers 2,065,896) than the records check (2,620,560).
