Thank you for your continued support of our efforts to gather accurate counts of young people on juvenile probation supervision and information about the services they receive. We are now requesting your assistance in updating the CJP 2009 roster of juvenile probation offices and confirming only the total count of young people under probation supervision.

This effort is being conducted in partnership with George Mason University, The Pew Center on the States and The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. We are seeking to:

  • Verify your office information
  • Gather a total population count of young people as of December 14, 2011 on formal, court-ordered juvenile probation and informal, non-court-ordered juvenile probation (for those offices providing this service)
  • Confirm the geographic areas served by the responding office.

We are conducting this exercise now for three reasons:

  • Crime rates have seen a rapid and unprecedented decline in the past several years; we are uncertain of the effects of this decline on probation.
  • We must maintain the probation roster for the next round of the Census of Juvenile Probation Supervision Offices, currently scheduled for administration in late 2012
  • The Pew Center on the States is undertaking a ground-breaking study of the costs of juvenile probation and the costs of juvenile incarceration. The George Mason University team will be working alongside Pew, OJJDP, and The Lloyd Society 501(c) 3 to conduct this study. Accurate counts will be critical in providing practitioners and policymakers the true value of community supervision.

Our goal remains to cause the smallest possible disruption to your work. We will supply the same level of access and support as in our past collections.

Current real-time tally:

308 offices reporting
154,190 juveniles on formal probation
