Voluntary Revocations and the "Elect-to-Serve" Option in North Carolina Probation

Of the 15,044 North Carolina probationers removed from supervision between July 1 and October 31, 1993, 1147 (8%) chose to serve the remaining portion of their sentence in incarceration rather than under probation supervision. Those 1147 probationers were compared to a sample obtained from the remainder of the population. Variables which correlated with choosing elect-to-serve were identified. The strongest predictors were being under intensive supervision and financial difficulty, whereas the strongest predictors for not choosing to serve were being under the lowest level of supervision and being over age 24 at the time of first conviction.
