The Need for Increased Funding for HOPE/SCF
Posted on October 25, 2021 by Kelly Smith

The Need for Increased Funding for HOPE/SCF

Swift, Certain, and Fair (SCF) is a set of principles applied to behavior management in a variety of criminal justice settings, especially probation, parole, and other types of community supervision, as well as jails and prisons. Programs using SCF models have improved compliance, helping criminal-justice-involved people stay out of prison, qualify for parole, and/or fight substance abuse. Grants for implementation and evaluation of HOPE/SCF-based programs have been issued through BJA for almost a decade to dozens of recipient agencies, and expanding the funding and scope of these grants will allow for more applications, better research, larger-scale programs, and longer-term support for existing programs.
