Answer to Question 1

Probation usually involves the suspension of the offender's sentence in return for the promise of good behavior in the community under the supervision of a probation department. Probation involves a contract between the court and the offender in which the latter is required to obey a set of rules or conditions required by the court. If the rules are violated, and especially if the probationer commits another criminal offense, probation may be revoked; this means that the contract is terminated and the original sentence is enforced. Probation is the most commonly used alternative sentence for a number of reasons: it is humane, it helps offenders maintain community and family ties, and it is cost-effective. Research has found that about two-thirds of probationers were rearrested, half convicted, and one-third re incarcerated; even the most serious criminals who receive probation are less likely to recidivate than those who are sent to prison for committing similar crimes.
