Description: The awardee with work with the NIC Project Manager and NAPE Project Committee to conduct a national study detailing how adult community supervision operations are funded. The study will use state-level data showing the proportion of state revenue, local revenue, and supervision fees being used to support agency operations. The mixed methods study will help develop a national profile on how adult community supervision operations are funded, including information regarding the extent to which local and state resources are dedicated to support operations and to what extent supervision fee revenue is dedicated to fund operations. Quantitative data will be collected to understand who is collecting fees, the amount of fees that are imposed and collected, and the level of revenue from supervision fees and other sources being used to support probation operations. Qualitative data will be collected through interviews with probation operations staff to gain perspectives on the adequacy of current funding mechanisms, trends in funding, and how those trends correlate with trends in community supervision populations.
