PROBATION STATISTICS | ||
| ||
By: Christopher Reinhart, Senior Attorney | ||
You asked about the number of people on probation and their charges.
The Office of Fiscal Analysis provided us with the following information from a Judicial Branch database.
On June 1, 2007, there were 55,804 probationers with open cases under supervision. There were 71,145 open cases associated with these clients. Each case has a primary charge. Thus, some probationers have more than one open case. The chart below shows, by descending order, the total number of primary charges by statutory citation.
In some instances, statutes are broken down into parts and listed separately by their subsections and subdivisions. For example, robbery 1st degree is broken into five parts that are listed separately. Also, some statutes, such as driving under the influence (DUI), have different penalties based on the number of the offender's previous convictions and this database lists them separately. For example, there were 4,514 cases with DUI as a first offense as the primary charge, 1,391 with DUI as a second offense as the primary charge, 430 cases with DUI as a third offense as the primary charge, and 1 case with DUI as a fourth offense as the primary charge.
Thus, the totals for any specific line in this chart may be deceptive because there may be cases convicted under the same statute that are counted on another line. In addition, some of the descriptions are broad and others more specific and they may appear to overlap.
