Juvenile probation is the supervision and monitoring of justice-involved youth in the community, rather than placement out of the home … The focus of this literature review is on formal probation and services provided to juveniles on post-adjudication probation, or probation as a disposition. The review will not focus on probation at intake, probation following out-of-home placement, or school-based probation. In addition to describing services provided, this review provides an overview of the process of juvenile probation, characteristics of youths served by probation, the role of probation officers, and a description of evidence-based programs that have been evaluated with youth on probation.
