Annual Parole Survey, Annual Probation Survey, Annual Probation Survey

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) seeks approval to continue its Annual Surveys of Probation and Parole (ASPP) for the 2020-2022 data collection period. These establishment surveys provide BJS with the capacity to report annually on changes in the size and composition of the community corrections populations in the United States. The surveys also track key outcomes of offenders on probation or parole, such as completion of supervision terms and return to incarceration (or recidivism). Data are collected from the known universe of probation and parole supervising agencies, using central reporters wherever possible to minimize burden the public. The ASPP provides the only national level, regularly collected, data on the community corrections populations, and, as such, they inform this key stage of the criminal justice process. Specifically for 2020-2022, BJS seeks approval to continue both the routine annual collection and work on expanding the known universe of probation supervising agencies. Based on the past few years frame development research, in RY2020, BJS will add all the newly identified agencies to confirm their status as supervising agencies and produce an up-to-date frame for use in RY2021 and RY2022. In addition, the RY 2020 collection will include a short supplement to examine the core estimates of probation and parole population counts after a few months of the coronavirus (COVID19) impacts to the criminal justice system and questions about policy and practice changes resulting from the coronavirus.
