The report presents data on the adult probation/parole population under Alaska Department of Corrections supervision for the period 2002–2012, and briefly describes how probation and parole operate in Alaska. Data were extracted from the annual Offender Profile publication of the Alaska Department of Corrections. The report examines the total numbers of adults under probation/parole supervision, rates of supervision, demographic breakdowns by sex and race, and distribution by supervising authority. The Fact Sheet is authored by Dr. Brad A. Myrstol, director of the Alaska Justice Statistical Analysis Center (AJSAC).
The AJSAC is housed within the UAA Justice Center, and published the monthly AJSAC Fact Sheet addressing various crime and criminal justice topics.
