§60552 Grants to study parole or post-incarceration supervision violations and revocations

Summary

The Attorney General can give grants to States, using money set aside for this purpose, to study and to improve how they collect data on people whose parole or post-incarceration supervision is revoked and who pose the greatest risk to victims and community safety. To get a grant, a State must say it has or will set up a program that collects reliable data on the number and types of violations, the reasons for revocation, the behavior that led to revocation, and the term of imprisonment or other penalty imposed. The State must send that data to the Bureau of Justice Statistics in the format the Bureau requires. Any statistical analysis must follow the Federal Register notice dated October 30, 1997, on classification standards.
