The 2006 national estimates are not comparable with those for previous years because of methodological changes to the NCVS in 2006. The report does, however, provide annual victimization counts and rates for 2005 and 2006 for urban and suburban areas, where comparable survey methods were used. It discusses the methodological changes that were implemented and how they impacted the survey estimates.

This report presents information on trends in State parole populations since 1990. Changes in sentencing policies that have resulted in States moving away from discretionary release by parole boards to mandatory release are discussed. The effects of the Federal truth-in-sentencing standard requiring violent offenders to serve not less than 85% of their sentence before release are examined for the States that have adopted this standard. The report compares discretionary and mandatory releases to parole with the type of discharge from parole supervision. Data are presented on the success and failure rates of offenders on parole by criminal history, sentence length, time served in prison, and offense distribution. The report also profiles specific characteristics and needs of offenders reentering the community, including drug and alcohol use history, homelessness, and mental health status.
