"Study Claims Ohio's Probation System is Expensive and Ineffective"

This post was written by the library staff: "A new study that is being released today by the Council of State Governments Justice Center indicates that Ohio's probation system is expensive and ineffective. According to a news report from the Columbus Dispatch, the study criticizes Ohio's decentralized system whereby numerous individual county agencies address probation issues. The same article indicates that the study also shows that offenders are not receiving the correct probation-i.e., minor offenders linger too long in the system while more serious offenders are released without adequate supervision."
