Abstract
Little research exists on differences between intensive community supervision successes and failures. One of the reasons for this scarcity of information is that a narrow range of criteria is often used to select candidates for such programs, hence differences among those who succeed and those who fail are difficult to discern. This research examined differences between successes and failures using a more heterogeneous population—offenders placed on furlough in preparation for release from incarceration in Vermont. The main finding was that the offender most likely to fail was the same offender likely to be selected for intensive community supervision.
