CATEGORIZES AND EVALUATES COMMONLY IMPOSED CONDITIONS, POINTING OUT WEAKNESSES IN THE SYSTEM, WITH EMPHASIS ON ROLE OF THE COURTS AND LEGISLATURES.
Abstract
GENERAL PROBATION CONCEPTS AND THE PROBATION PROCESS ITSELF ARE BRIEFLY OUTLINED. THE CONDITIONS OF PROBATION WHICH ARE EXAMINED INCLUDE PAYMENT OF COURT COSTS, FINES, BONDS, FAMILY FINANCIAL SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS, RESTITUTION TO AGGRIEVED PARTIES, BANISHMENT, AND SHORT TERMS OF IMPRISONMENT. ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL DEFICIENCIES IN THE PRESENT USE OF CONDITIONS IS THE NEED FOR MORE DEFINITE LEGISLATIVE CONTROL OVER THE USE OF PROBATION BY THE COURTS. TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THIS CONTROL TAKE THE FORM OF A SPECIFIC ENUMERATION OF PERMISSIBLE CONDITIONS WHICH THE SENTENCING COURTS MAY IMPOSE AS A CONDITION OF PROBATION.
