Abstract
More
and
more
,
criminal
offenders
are
being
sentenced
to a
term
of
probation
supervision
rather
than
other
forms
of
punishment
.
While
on
probation
,
offenders
often
encounter
significant
difficulties
in
securing
legitimate
employment
.
Prior
literature
has
shown
numerous
benefits
of
offender
employment
,
including
reductions
in
criminal
behavior
and
success
on
probation
. The
present
study
utilizes
an
existing
database
of
inactive
Connecticut
probation
cases
to
examine
the
relationship
between
employment
and
probation
success
.
Other
variables
including
probationer
gender
,
ethnicity
,
age
,
education
,
legal
charges
and
total
Level
of
Service
Inventory
--Revised
(LSI-R)
score
were also
examined
to
see
if they had any
significant
relationship
to
probation
success
.
Data
regarding
probationer
demographics
,
employment
status
and
probationer
outcome
was
gathered
from a
total
of
291
offenders
who
were
sentenced
to a
period
of
probation
in
2007
.
Various
categories
of
employment
were
analyzed
both
at the
commencement
and
completion
of
probation
. As
hypothesized
, the
results
of the
study
suggest
that a
strong
relationship
exists
between
employment
,
especially
full-time
employment
, and
success
on
probation
. The
most
significant
findings
of the
study
were that
probationers
who
were
employed
on a
full-time
basis
were
9.82
times
more
likely
to
successfully
complete
probation
in
comparison
to the
remainder
of the
sample
.
Additionally
,
full-time
employed
probationers
were
8.66
times
more
likely
to
successfully
complete
probation
in
comparison
to
probationers
who
were
employed
, but not on a
full-time
basis
. The
results
also
indicated
that the
LSI-R
was
validated
as an
accurate
probationer
risk
assessment
,
White
probationers
had
higher
rates
of
probation
success
than
Non-White
probationers
and
Hispanic
probationers
had
lower
rates
of
probation
success
than
Non-Hispanic
probationers
. The
findings
of this
study
are
significant
as they
further
the
understanding
of the
effect
of
employment
on
probation
success
and
may
assist
in the
advancement
of
Connecticut's
Adult
probation
system
.
