| Popis: | Probation is the most common form of correctional supervision in the United States, yet its history remains largely understudied. This study examines probation’s transformation from private charity to public system through an analysis of House judiciary committee hearing records leading up to the 1925 Federal Probation Act. The data reveal change over time in committee members’ key concerns and proponents’ framing of probation. The results shed light on the transformative nature of the legislative process as reforms evolve from grassroots ideology to public policy. Further, they lend insight into the historical roots of many of probation’s modern-day challenges. The findings inform a dynamic cause and constraint model of penal reform. |
