POLICY AREAS EXPLORED BY OTHER STATES Use probation + treatment for people with nonviolent, low- level offenses Nebraska Reclassified felony offenses according to whether they involve violence or are sex offenses. This enhanced the rationality of the state's felony classifications by more uniformly grouping offenses by the severity of the conduct involved. Ohio Requires people convicted of first-time, low-level property and drug offenses to serve probation terms.
