Recidivism of

High-Risk Probationers

Abstract
This article reports the results of an experimental evaluation of the impact of
Intensive Supervision Probation (ISP) on probationer recidivism. Participants,
who were assessed at an increased likelihood of committing serious crimes
and not ordered to specialized supervision, were randomly assigned to
ISP (n = 447) or standard probation (n = 385). ISP probationers received
more restrictive supervision and experienced more office contacts, home
visitations, and drug screenings. After 12 months, there was no difference in
offending. This equivalence holds across multiple types of crimes, including
violent, non-violent, property, and drug offenses, as well as in a survival
analysis conducted for each offense type. ISP probationers absconded from
supervision, were charged with technical violations, and were incarcerated at
significantly higher rates. Policy implications for these results are discussed.
