Abstract: 

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the statistical agency of the U.S. Department of Justice, is conducting the Census of Adult Probation Supervising Agencies (CAPSA), a special nationwide project that will describe the varying structures and nature of adult probation both across and within states. The BJS is collaborating with Westat and the American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) to conduct the census. The data collection phase of the project—consisting of a national survey of public agencies that supervise adults on probation for a felony (or those that supervise felons and misdemeanants) and private companies that supervise adult probationers—will be conducted by Westat and APPA on behalf of the BJS in the summer of 2014.
