Concept information
Preferred term
felony probation
Definition
- Felony probation refers to a probation sentence that has been granted to a person convicted of a felony offense (as opposed to a misdemeanor offense). Although it revolves around working with more serious offenders, felony probation is based on the same general tenet of traditional probation in that the sentence allows the offender to be supervised within the community as long as he or she abides by all of the probation terms and conditions mandated by the court.
