Probation and Parole A Review of Current Literature [New Mexico Sentencing Commission]

The APPA provides more insight and example programs for state probation and parole programs. APPA suggests that states structure their probation and parole supervision on two key strategies: 1) swift, certain, and proportionate sanctions to respond to violations, and 2) use of incentives to promote and reinforce compliance among probationers and parolees (APPA, 2013). Given these strategies, the APPA lists exemplary programs from four states:

HOPE: Hawaii Opportunity Probation with Enforcement

24/7: South Dakota’s 24/7 Sobriety Project

POM: Georgia’s Probation Options Management

ISP: Wyoming’s Intensive Supervision Program
