TIME 2 . Incentives
Reoffending is most likely during the first 10-18 months of supervision , and long supervision terms fail to deliver better results . Additionally , incentives are more effective than sanctions at improving outcomes . In fact , the most valued incentive among individuals is reduced supervision length . Two paths in which this occurs are Unsupervised Status and Early Termination .
Unsupervised Incentive : Receiving and Succeeding
Anyone who completes two years of a probation term without issue is eligible for the incentive of no longer reporting to an officer ( i . e ., Unsupervised Status ). Nevertheless , we know little about who receives this incentive or the success rate among those who do . This study aims to fill that gap .
