Multisite Field Experiment of the Hawaii’s HOPE Program
Rigorous evaluations have found Hawaii’s innovative HOPE probation program to be more successful at reducing recidivism than standard probation models. NIJ and the Bureau of Justice Assistance are collaborating on a multisite field experiment to find out if it can be implemented in other jurisdictions. If the HOPE model can be successfully applied at other sites, the benefits of the program could become widespread.
