yes they do because it tells them how you been on probation and how people think you are doing usually the probation report is what they look at because the judge does not see your actions outside the court

~EXTRA INFORMATION~

♥ so yes they do consider your probation report and therefore if you do not have one they go by evidence or just how the jury comes to it but usually most people have a probation report and sometimes you don't even have to be on probation ♥
