Abstract:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) seeks approval to continue its Annual Surveys of Probation and Parole (ASPP) for the 2023-2025 data collection period. These establishment surveys provide BJS with the capacity to report annually on changes in the size and composition of the community corrections populations in the United States. The surveys also track key outcomes of offenders on probation or parole, such as completion of supervision terms and return to incarceration (or recidivism). Data are collected from the known universe of probation and parole supervising agencies, using central reporters wherever possible to minimize burden the public. The ASPP provides the only national level, regularly collected, data on the community corrections populations, and, as such, they inform this key stage of the criminal justice process.

Short Statement:
Revisions include an updated frame of probation agencies including additional misdemeanor only supervising agencies, as well changes to the probation survey forms (CJ-8 and CJ-8M) to collect information separately for felony and misdemeanor probation. These changes will allow BJS to provide accurate detailed statistics of people under probation supervision in the United States. The parole survey (CJ-7) does not include any substantive changes from the prior clearance. The burden of the combined surveys has remained relatively unchanged due to the number of agencies only being asked to complete the CJ-8M. The burden for the agencies supervising misdemeanor probation has been reduced from 95 minutes to 25 minutes (including 15 minutes to gather the data) while the additional data collected from agencies supervising felony probation has been increased from 95 minutes to 150 minutes (including 30 minutes to gather the data).
