IU researcher taking part in $2.7 million, multistate study of community corrections
Miriam Northcutt Bohmert, assistant professor of criminal justice at IU Bloomington, will take part in a multistate, mixed-methods study that examines fines and fees in community corrections and how they affect individuals’ ability to succeed in probation and parole.
She is part of a team of nine researchers at eight institutions who will conduct the research. Ebony Ruhland of the University of Cincinnati School of Criminal Justice will lead the project, which is funded by a $2.7 million grant from the Laura and John Arnold Foundation.
According the Bureau of Justice Statistics, about 4.5 million adults were serving sentences on community supervision in 2016. Fees and fines, which vary by jurisdiction and other factors, can make it hard for them to successfully complete probation or parole and can place a financial burden on families. The study will seek to understand the implications of those fees and fines for the individuals and the criminal justice system.
