North Carolina Reduces Probation Revocations with Short, Swift Sanctions

“This study is just the beginning,” said George Pettigrew, DPS Justice Reinvestment Administrator. “We’re partnering with independent researchers to conduct further evaluations on the impact of quick dips and other supervision practices, including using incentives and structured intervention worksheets to promote success on supervision. DPS is committed to using data to drive policy, and this next evaluation will help us continue to improve supervision practices and reduce revocations.”
