Are those supervised who have a history of criminal behavior prior to probation and previous incarceration the most likely to fail on probation?
Past criminal history can be an element of recidivism, but it is not the only one. Economic situation is a huge element. Consider that in the US a perspective employer can face prison time if he discriminates against an applicant on the basis of race, religion, gender, gender specificity, gender preference, age, weight, and a variety of other minutia, but there is no prohibition against discriminating against someone due to a previous conviction. In fact the federal and state governments practice it themselves, despite lack of evidence proving or even implying that the previously convicted are any less qualified or any greater danger.
In preparation for the coming debate (which by the way is a violation of WikiAnswers rules), recidivism is a trackable phenomenon. So are initial convictions. There are currently 2.5 million people incarcerated in the US, there are more than 25 million with previous felony convictions, this is almost ten percent of the US population. Fewer than half of the convictions in the US are the result of repeat offenses--the majority of convictions in the US are first time convictions. How then are people protected from all of those dangerous felons by discriminating against them? One cannot discriminate against a felon who is not yet a felon. Likewise, one cannot protect against a felon who is not yet a felon.
Back to the original question: those who have no previous history of criminal behavior have no reason to be on probation, so those who fail on probation invariably have a prior history of felony conviction.
