Although crime control policy and program development processes are increasingly being informed by scientific evidence, identifying and adopting what works is only part of what’s needed to realize positive outcomes. Evidence-based programs and practices (EBPs) still have to be implemented with fidelity and integrity in order to be successful. Unfortunately, implementation is not an easy task. Implementation science, however, can help practitioners tackle implementation challenges so the promise of EBPs can be more fully realized.

Over the last 20 years, supervision practices in the field of probation have significantly changed in the attempt to assist in positive behavior change in probationers. The field now knows that attempting to catch people doing the “right” thing is as important as holding them accountable for incidents where they are doing the “wrong” things. How does one do this? There are many evidence-based practices to efficiently supervise probationers in order to accomplish both goals.
