Book Description
This publication is a detailed account of the State of California's probation subsidy program, a relatively new and innovative approach to juvenile and adult corrections. Simply defined, probation subsidy encourages county probation departments to reduce their rate of committments to State correctional agencies. In return, the county receives a financial reward that is commensurate with the degree of reduction. The Youth Development and Delinquency Prevention Administration endorses the use of probation subsidy as a viable way for states to aid those offenders entrusted to their care. The author of this publication is Robert L. Smith, Chief of the Correctional Planning and Development Department of the California Youth Authority, Sacramento.

Book Description
This study represents the first systematic research on felony probationers. It is based on data on individuals convicted of selected serious felonies in Superior Court in California, who would have been likely candidates for prison. It defines probation and reviews its history to the present; documents the recidivism behavior of a selected sample of probationers and the implications for public safety; analyzes the factors that influence the prison/probation decision, the consistency of their application, and the recidivism of offenders with low, moderate, and high probabilities of imprisonment; identifies the factors associated with recidivism; discusses intermediate punishment--intensive community-based surveillance--as a sentencing alternative; describes operational programs; and develops a sentencing process to establish which alternative is appropriate for a given offender. Some of the conclusions suggested by the research are (1) felons granted probation present a serious threat to public safety; (2) the factors specified by law as appropriate considerations in the prison/probation decision strongly influence that decision in practice and should be used more consistently; (3) given the information now routinely provided to the court, the ability to predict which felons will succeed on probation cannot be vastly improved; and (4) state criminal justice systems should develop punitive community-based alternatives to prison for convicted felons.
