Vera Institute of Justice, June 2008

In the 1990s the Department of Justice (DCJ) in Multnomah County, Oregon, initiated a series of eveidence-based reforms intended to shift resources and change its supervision approach. This study by the Vera Institute of Justice is one of a number of studies the DCJ has solicited to look at particular questions about its system. It provides an overview of the patterns and practices of adult probation and post-prison supervision, based on Vera's quantitative analysis of the use of intermediate sanctions in response to violations of probation conditions.
