What Is a Probation Violation?

A probation violation occurs when an individual allegedly fails to comply with one or more conditions imposed by the court. The terms of probation vary depending on the underlying offense and the individual’s sentence. Examples of conduct that may result in an alleged probation violation include:

• Failing to report to a probation officer
• Failing to complete required programs or treatment
• Failing to perform court-ordered community service
• Failing to pay required fines, fees, or restitution
• Testing positive for prohibited substances
• Committing a new criminal offense
• Failing to comply with travel or other restrictions
• Violating other conditions imposed by the court

Not every alleged violation results in the same consequences. The circumstances of the alleged violation and the individual’s history can be important factors.

What Happens After an Alleged Violation?

If a person is accused of violating probation, the case may proceed through the court system and potentially result in a violation-of-probation hearing. The court may consider the circumstances surrounding the alleged violation and determine what consequences, if any, are appropriate. Depending on the circumstances, the court may modify probation conditions, continue probation, impose additional requirements, or revoke probation and impose other penalties permitted by law.
