Cost Effectiveness of Misdemeanant Probation in Hamilton County, Ohio, 1981-1982 (ICPSR 8259)
Hartigan, Richard
Hartigan, Richard
This research was designed to determine whether the
supervision of misdemeanant probationers was cost-effective for
increasing the level of successful probation completions in Hamilton
County, Ohio. The primary objective was to examine the relationships
among these factors: supervision costs, the collection of court costs,
fines, and restitution, types of supervision, risk assessment, and
probationer conduct for the population of probationers. Probationers
were initially classified according to risk assessment and then
randomly assigned to a supervision category. The probationer's risk
potential was a numerical score derived from demographic background
variables, prior record, and history of substance use. The DSCP
(Degree of Successful Completion of Probation) was developed
specifically to measure probationer conduct and to compare trends and
relationships. The variables examined in the study include: risk
assessment at intake, supervision level assigned, number of times the
probationer was assigned to probation, start and planned termination
dates, date of last status change, status at termination, degree of
successful completion of probation achieved, costs incurred in
administering probation, and amounts collected from each probationer
for court costs, restitution, and fines. Although data were collected
on 7,072 misdemeanant probation experiences, there are only 2,756
probationers included in the study. The remaining 4,316 cases were
excluded due to failure of the probationer to show up for screening or
for other reasons that did not meet the research criteria.

These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they there received from the data depositor. The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed except of the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompany readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collections and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed.
The study used a multi-method approach including 1. a process evaluation in all eight sites involving yearly site visits from 2012 to 2014 with key stakeholder interviews, observations, and participant focus groups; 2. a prospective impact evaluation (in four sites) including interviews at release from jail or prison and at 12 months after release (as well as oral swab drug tests) with reentry court participants and a matched comparison group; 3. a recidivism impact evaluation (in seven sites) with a matched comparison group tracking recidivism for 2 years post reentry court entry and 4. a cost-benefit evaluation (in seven sites) involving a transactional and institutional cost analysis (TICA) approach. Final administrative data were collected through the end of 2016.
This collection includes four SPSS data files: "interview_archive2.sav" with 746 variables and 412 cases, "NESCCARC_Archive_File_3.sav" with 518 variables and 3,710 cases, "Interview Data1.sav" with 1,356 variables and 412 cases, "NESCCARC Admin Data File.sav" with 517 variables and 3,710 cases, and three SPSS syntax files: "Interview Syntax.sps", "archive_2-17.sps", and "NESCCARC Admin Data Syntax.sps".

Yankelovich, Skelly; White, Inc.
This survey was conducted in order to obtain from judges
their views and experiences regarding the role of courts in American
society, specifically on issues of caseload management. From a sample
representing five regions of the country, 104 federal and state judges
were interviewed about their general work practices and performance in
court over the year previous to August 1979. Variables describe the
amount of time judges spent on routine judicial activities,
characteristics of cases requiring excessive time, the mechanisms
employed in the resolution of civil disputes, techniques for
reducing or more expeditiously handling heavy caseloads, and
suggestions for extra-judicial dispute settlement processes that could
serve as alternatives to courts. Data are also available on each
judge's legal education, legal experience, and personal background.
