The Bureau of Justice Statistics has released two datasets on probation and parole through the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD). These surveys collect data from U.S. probation and parole agencies that supervise adults. Data include—
- total number of adults on state and federal probation and parole
- number of adults entering and exiting probation and parole supervision
- characteristics of adults under the supervision of probation and parole agencies.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice is the principal federal agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating reliable statistics on crime and criminal justice in the United States. Jeffrey H. Anderson is the director.
