Higher-risk probationers require
more intensive supervision and
programs to reduce recidivism.
Applying similar supervision and
program intensities to lower-risk
probationers can have the
reverse effect, increasing
recidivism.
*979 probationers were categorized as "Not Classified" and are not represented in this chart because they are incarcerated or out of state and not
actively overseen by the North Dakota probation department. Less than 1% of probation cases were missing classification levels.
2% of probation cases had an outcome of "Death" or "Other."
