This study examined legal and extralegal factors that affected the decisions of adult probation officers.
Abstract
This study attempts to further the understanding of how legal and extralegal factors affect the decision of criminal justice professionals, specifically, adult probation officers. The findings show that while both legal and extralegal factors were significant in the decision to revoke probation and the length of the sentence, the factors were different for each decision.
