Abstract
Probation and parole are often used as means of monitoring and encouraging treatment
for alcohol offenders. Recent research has identified treatment mechanisms that provide
for decreased amounts of relapse and recurrent offenses, such as social support and
structured therapy sessions. The present study investigated the efficacy of eight common
probation conditions of alcohol offenders in Macomb County, Michigan from three
different view points (offender, probation officer, and judge). A survey was conducted to
determine the most beneficial and most harmful common terms of probation from all
three perspectives. Results of this study show a varying opinion regarding the most
beneficial and most harmful conditions of probation. In addition, the findings suggest a
need for more communication between the three participant groups in order to ensure
beneficial sentencing for alcohol offenders.
