By The  Utah Commission on Criminal & Juvenile Justice

  This report evaluates the characteristics and outcomes of individuals under AP&P supervision that are classified as habitual offenders, as defined by SB213. Evaluation Scope & Criteria: Assesses individuals under AP&P supervision classified as habitual offenders per Senate Bill 213 (SB213) that started probation and parole between 2019 and 2024. Offense Type & Supervision Challenges: Most were convicted of property or drug-related crimes and frequently violated supervision due to substance use. Prison Returns & Risk Factors: Many returns occur early, with higher-risk individuals returning more frequently.  Policy Recommendations: Early intervention, tailored supervision, expanded treatment access, and comprehensive services can reduce recidivism, improve rehabilitation, and generate cost savings.
