Title: Achieving Better Outcomes for Adult Probation
Summary: This report reviews the adult probation system in California and presents recommendations for improving the system's public safety and fiscal outcomes. In general, it found that many county probation departments are not operating according to the best practices identified by experts and are underperforming in key outcome measures. It also found that the current funding model for probation provides an unintended incentive for local agencies to revoke probation failures to state prison instead of utilizing alternative community-based sanctions.
