APPENDIX F AN AFTER-STUDY OF MEN PLACED ON PROBATION TO THE ERIE COUNTY PROBATION OFFICE DURING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, 1912, SHOWING THE RESULTS AFTER DISCHARGE FROM PROBATION THE CASES STUDIED In the Seventh annual report of the Commission for 1913, beginning on page 344, there appeared a detailed probation history of all cases, 28 in number, placed on probation to the Erie County Probation Office during the month of October, 1912. The study was completed in December, 1913, and at that time the following results were reported by the office: During the months of August and September, 1915, a careful home investigation under the supervision of Chief Probation Officer Edwin J. Cooley was made in each of these cases, 22 in number, previously reported as discharged with improvement or continued on probation. An endeavor was made to ascertain the exact facts as to the present home condition, employment and record of each of these probationers. In the cases of those previously reported as discharged with improvement, the minimum period after discharge from probation had been one year and eight months. Of the three who were being continued on probation at the time of the first survey, one had just been discharged when the last investigation was completed. The other two had been discharged six months. Two years and ten months had elapsed in all cases since they came under the care of the office. It would seem, therefore, that a fairly accurate estimate of the results of probation could be obtained from this investigation. Summarizing the results as far as they could be ascertained at the last investigation, in the entire 28 cases placed on probation during the month of October, 1912, the following results were reported: In Cases Where Results Could be Judged. The following is the table of results reported in all cases which completed their probation period and were regularly discharged, i. e., those in which the probation officers had a full opportunity to do constructive work throughout the probation period: *One rearrested-petit larceny-sentence suspended. (Circumstances trivial.) **Only one rearrested and committed after discharge from probation-burglary-Elmira Reformatory. |
