During the COVID-19 pandemic, community supervision agencies (i.e., pretrial, probation and/or parole) adapted practices to address public safety goals for supervising individuals in the community and for reducing the spread of COVID-19. Community supervision agencies had to drastically adapt policies to manage social distancing during supervision contacts and provide assistance to individuals to achieve supervision goals. One of the greatest challenges during the pandemic was the lack of clear and consistent guidelines for supervision agencies to use. This project combines research-based findings about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on community supervision agencies, experiences of clients, and supervision officers during the pandemic. These findings along with feedback from a panel of experts from a variety of fields will be used to achieve two primary goals: 1) development of a comprehensive evidence-based understanding of the response to and impact of COVID-19 on the field of community supervision; and 2) application of the collected evidence to develop empirically-supported pandemic response guidelines for supervision agencies. The value of this effort is to systematically learn from the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for future pandemics. Collectively, these efforts will improve both knowledge and practice by contributing to developing a knowledgebase of empirical evidence and a toolkit for practitioners and agencies to use in the future. This study is informed by three main research questions: 1) What responses during COVID-19 were successful and unsuccessful in community supervision agencies? 2) What are the short and long-term impacts of how supervision agencies responded during COVID-19?; and 3) What are the better strategies to implement in response to future pandemics or emergency situations? We will use a multi-staged approach involving research evaluation of responses and impact of responses in three jurisdictions and collaboration with experts across relevant fields to inform two key deliverables. These deliverables include a database of successful practices and policies for the field and Practice Guidelines for the Community Corrections Responses to Viral Pandemics. This project has the potential to expand what has already been done on the COVID-19 pandemic in the field of supervision through a comprehensive consensus building process using the RAND/UCLA model. This will identify adaptations to community supervision practice and the impact of those adaptations for agencies, supervision officers, and individuals under supervision. This project includes multiple perspectives and examines the impact of pandemic responses on key outcomes to advance knowledge, inform evidence-based tools for the community supervision field, and identify areas for possible reform.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在19日大流行期间，社区监督机构（即审前，缓刑和/或假释）改编的做法是针对监督社区中个人和减少Covid-19的公共安全目标的实践。社区监督机构必须大大调整政策，以管理在监督联系期间的社会疏远，并为个​​人提供帮助以实现监督目标。大流行期间最大的挑战之一是缺乏使用监督机构使用的明确，一致的准则。该项目结合了基于研究的发现，关于COVID-19的大流行对社区监督机构，客户经验以及大流行期间的监督官员的影响。这些发现以及来自各个领域的专家小组的反馈将用于实现两个主要目标：1）对Covid-19对Covid-19对社区监督领域的反应和影响的全面基于证据的理解； 2）应用收集的证据来制定监督机构的经验支持的大流行反应指南。这项工作的价值是系统地从199号大流行中学习，并为未来的大流行做准备。总的来说，这些努力将通过为未来的从业者和机构提供经验证据和工具包的知识库来提高知识和实践。这项研究由三个主要研究问题告知：1）COVID-19期间哪些回答成功且在社区监督机构中不成功？ 2）监督机构在Covid-19期间的响应方式有何短期和长期影响？ 3）在响应未来的大流行或紧急情况下，实施哪些更好的策略是什么？我们将使用一种多阶段的方法，涉及对三个司法管辖区的响应和响应影响的研究评估，并与相关领域的专家合作，以告知两个关键的可交付成果。这些可交付成果包括一个成功实践的数据库和对社区更正病毒大流行的响应的领域和实践指南的数据库。该项目有可能通过使用RAND/UCLA模型进行全面的共识建设过程来扩展监督领域的Covid-19大流行中所做的工作。这将确定对社区监督实践的适应以及这些改编对机构，监督官员和受监督的个人的影响。该项目包括多种观点，并研究了大流行反应对促进知识的关键结果的影响，为社区监督领域提供基于证据的工具，并确定可能改革的领域。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来通过评估来支持的。
