PROBATION VIOLATIONS

After a defendant is convicted of a crime, the court will hand down a sentence. A standard element of any criminal sentence is probation.

In many cases, probation is considered in lieu of jail time. Suspension of a sentence is completely reliant upon the adherence to the probation terms, which normally require checking in with a probation officer at regular intervals.

Any crimes committed while on probation will normally serve as a revocation of the probation and an immediate reinstatement of the initial sentence.
