§60552 Grants to Study Parole or Post-incarceration Supervision Violations and Revocations

Summary

Using money made available for this purpose, the Attorney General can give grants to states to study and to improve how they collect data about people whose parole or post-incarceration supervision is revoked, especially those who pose the greatest risk to victims and public safety. To get a grant, a state must certify it has or will set up a reliable program that collects comprehensive data, including the number and type of violations, reasons for revocation, the behavior that led to it, and the sentence or penalty imposed, and must send that data to the Bureau of Justice Statistics in the form the Bureau requires. Any statistical analysis must follow the Federal Register Notice dated October 30, 1997, on classification standards.
