Latest Data about Probation and Parole

Dear friends,

Here are the latest data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics regarding Probation and Parole in the USA, 2014. It is the most comprehensive data available.

A few things to note when conversing with the soi disant civil libertarians, the police vilifiers, and the pot legalizers:

25 percent of those on probation are drug offenders, 31 percent of those on parole are drug offenders.

Unfortunately, of those on probation 19 percent are violent offenders and of those on parole 31 percent are violent offenders.

Perhaps this explains the chaos in the streets?
