The Impact Of Intensive Supervision Probation On Gang - Drug Offenders

Michael W. Agopian

U.S. Department of Justice, and California State University, Long Beach

The use of intermediate sanctions has recently received increasing interest among correctional professionals. Intensive Supervision of Probationers (ISP) has been implemented extensively yet rarely with serious drug offenders associated with gangs. This study reports on a study conducted during 1988-89. The research assessed the impact of ISP on 90 offenders over a twelve month period. The principal findings suggest that ISP clients were not subjected to distinctly greater services or monitoring of court sanctions. At the conclusion of the study period half of the ISP clients were returned to jail or prison. The research provides a foundation for policy regarding the utility of sentencing drug and gang offenders to probation.
