Preferred term

neighborhood probation  

Definition

  • Many jurisdictions have begun to embrace a particularly new and innovative alternative sentencing program of supervising offenders in collaboration with other key agencies, resources, and organizations within the immediate community where the probationer resides. Commonly known as neighborhood probation (although also referred to as community probation, community supervision, community justice, or neighborhood-based supervision), this method places strong emphasis on public safety, accessibility, and accountability by establishing relationships with local police departments, charitable organizations, faith-based groups, probationer-friendly employers, human services and treatment providers, and other community groups.
