Abstract: The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) seeks clearance to implement the 2014 Census of Adult Probation Supervising Agencies (CAPSA). CAPSA is a special project to develop a comprehensive listing of all independent federal, state, and local adult probation supervising agencies in the United States and private companies that directly supervise adult probationers. CAPSA will also gather information to describe the various organizational structures and nature of probation both across and within jurisdictions. A census of probation agencies was last conducted by BJS in 1991, but since then, the organization and nature of probation has changed in many significant ways. BJS plans to field CAPSA in mid-June 2014 and data collection is expected to last about seven months.
