Abstract

Strategies that facilitate client compliance with economic sanctions are of great concern to jurisdictions dependent on fees. In an effort to study this issue, the Harris County Adult Probation Department undertook a one year field study of the effects of computer-generated performance feedback on fee collections. Consistent with the hypothesis, enhanced feedback procedures led to improved supervision fee collections. There was limited evidence, however, that the training given to probation officers increased the benefits of performance feedback. The policy implications for computer-generated feedback on economic sanctions collection are discussed.
