Overview
Juvenile probation is the most common disposition imposed on young people involved in the juvenile justice system. While estimates of the number of juveniles under community supervision vary, data shows that in 2019 approximately 265,000 youth were placed on probation. Juvenile probation is a form of community supervision where probation officers supervise youth who are placed on court-ordered probation. The services provided to youth and their families are based on case plans designed to address individual risk factors and need. Juvenile probation is designed to work collaboratively with young people and their families to identify case plan goals and to motivate youth to achieve those goals by offering rewards and incentives for positive behavior, rather than punishment for bad behavior and non-compliance.
