Discuss the factors that contribute to a person's success or failure on probation
What will be an ideal response?
In most situations where criminal offending is involved, there are issues and factors that may be uncontrollable based on upbringing and lifestyle, leading to willingness to engage in illegal or immoral behavior. Many probationers bring with them emotional baggage that may reduce the chances of successful rehabilitation. In particular, young males who are unemployed or have lower incomes, a prior criminal record, and a history of instability are most likely to be rearrested. Prior record is also related to probation success and most revocations occur during the first three months of the probation sentence. Most revocations occur for technical violations.
