Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general topic of the research--probation--may not at first be in the mainstream of criminal justice thinking, where selective incapacitation and career criminals have occupied most of our policy attention. The topic was covered in the following topics: first, what distinguishes felons granted probation from those sentenced to prison, when both offenders have been convicted of the same crime? Second, are the courts consistent in the way they make the prison/probation decision? Third, how well do felons granted probation actually behave in the community? Fifth, how accurately can statistical models, based on detailed offender and offense information, predict which felons will succeed and fail on probation? And, finally, if these results suggest that felony probation poses unacceptable public safety risks, are there any more promising alternatives? The format is slide/text.
