- REDUCING REVOCATIONS CHALLENGE PROJECT: Findings from Monroe County, Indiana, Final Report (June 30, 2021). In May 2019, Arnold Ventures and the City University of New York Institute for State and Local Governance (ISLG)announced the launch of the Reducing Revocations Challenge, a national initiative dedicated to transforming probation supervision and reducing unnecessary failures that contribute to mass incarceration. Arnold Ventures funded research in ten jurisdictions across the United States to examine the drivers behind probation revocations. The challenge supported action research in the selected jurisdictions to better understand why revocations occur and how they can prevented. This is the final report for Monroe County, Indiana. For additional information contact Dr. Miriam Northcutt Bohmert, Ph.D., at mirnorth@indiana.edu.
The Board also approved the revised Monroe County Criminal Justice Collaboration Plan.
