The US Bureau of Justice Statistics has recently made available online this report on the number of persons on probation and parole during 2000 and provides comparisons with years 1998 and 1999. The six page, .pdf-formatted report lists the number of parolees and probationers in each state, describes the race and sex makeup of these populations and reports the data as percentages as well as numbers. The data can be viewed in the .pdf report's tables or can be downloaded as a spreadsheet (.zip).
