The Attorney General can give states grants to study parole violations. States must collect data on why supervision gets revoked and what penalty follows. They must share that data with the Bureau of Justice Statistics, analyzed under 1997 federal classification standards.
(a) Grants authorized. Using available funds, the Attorney General may give grants to States. The grants pay for studying and improving how States collect data on people whose parole or post-incarceration supervision has been revoked, and on which of those people pose the greatest risk to victims and community safety.
(b) Application. To get a grant, a State must: (1) certify that it has, or intends to build, a program collecting comprehensive and reliable data on those individuals — including (A) the number and type of parole or post-incarceration supervision violations in the State; (B) the reasons supervision was revoked; (C) the underlying behavior that led to the revocation; and (D) the prison term or other penalty imposed for the violation; and (2) give that data to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, in whatever form the Bureau prescribes.
(c) Analysis. Any statistical analysis of this population data must follow the classification standards set out in the Federal Register Notice dated October 30, 1997.
From amounts made available to carry out this section, the Attorney General may make grants to States to study and to improve the collection of data with respect to individuals whose parole or post-incarceration supervision is revoked, and which such individuals represent the greatest risk to victims and community safety.
As a condition of receiving a grant under this section, a State shall—
certify that the State has, or intends to establish, a program that collects comprehensive and reliable data with respect to individuals described in subsection (a), including data on—
the number and type of parole or post-incarceration supervision violations that occur with the State;
the reasons for parole or post-incarceration supervision revocation;
the underlying behavior that led to the revocation; and
the term of imprisonment or other penalty that is imposed for the violation; and
provide the data described in paragraph (1) to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, in a form prescribed by the Bureau.
Any statistical analysis of population data under this section shall be conducted in accordance with the Federal Register Notice dated October 30, 1997, relating to classification standards.
