Form Object

Probation Violation Probation occurs after a defendant has been convicted and is imposed as part of a defendant's sentence. Probation is given after serving jail time (if any) and the defendant

Probation can span from several months to probation for life depending on the nature of the underlying offense.

During that time, if the defendant violates any of the terms of conditions imposed by the court or the probation officer, the defendant is subject to a Violation of Probation.
