What are some of the most common parole and probation violations?

In North Dakota, some of the most common parole and probation violations include failing to report to a probation or parole officer, failing to meet the requirements of parole or probation, failing to pay court-ordered fines or fees, possessing or using illegal drugs, failing to complete court-ordered treatment programs, failing to stay current with child support payments, violating probation or parole conditions, failing to obey the law, violating an order of protection, committing a new crime, or failing to appear in court. When someone is found to have committed a parole or probation violation, a judge may issue a warrant and order the person’s arrest, or the person may face further conditions such as additional community service hours. Depending on the severity of the violation, the court may also suspend or revoke the offender’s parole or probation, reducing the amount of time they must serve in a correctional facility or even increasing it if the violation is serious. Parole and probation officers also have the authority to monitor offenders, which includes conducting home visits and searches to ensure the offender is in compliance with their parole or probation conditions. If the offender fails to comply, officers may take steps to revoke the offender’s parole or probation, which can lead to more serious consequences. Offenders should be aware that even minor violations of probation or parole can lead to significant sanctions.
