Kern County Probation | January 2018
Assessing outcomes data is an important factor in evaluating the value of a reentry program for a jurisdiction. The Kern County Probation Department, with the assistance of its Research, Analysis and Data Unit, reviewed outcomes data from its Day Reporting Center program over a two-year period. The DRC, a non-residential program designed for medium- to high-risk probationers, achieved positive results in the study.

Additionally, the data showed graduates who did recidivate were typically convicted of lesser offenses than the other groups assessed.
