There are 4.5 million adults in community corrections (e.g., probation and parole), nearly twice the number of people incarcerated in jails and prisons combined. Research suggests that more than half of men in jail have experienced at least one traumatic brain injury (TBI). Very little is known about TBI history in probation. This study reviewed TBI history, cognitive and psychosocial data, and judicial records. Results showed that 47% of persons on probation report TBI. People on probation with TBI also had comorbid behavioral health conditions like mental illness, substance abuse, trauma history, and attempted suicide. They were more likely to be determined to be high risk by probation officers, had a higher rate of felony convictions, had lower rates of successful probation completion, and were significantly more likely to re-offend. Attention to responsivity factors like TBI may help probation provide accommodations that support successful engagement in probation and treatment.

有450万人参加社区矫正活动（例如，缓刑和假释），几乎是被关进监狱和监狱的人数的两倍。研究表明，监狱中一半以上的男性至少经历了一次颅脑外伤（TBI）。关于TBI试用期的历史知之甚少。这项研究回顾了TBI的历史，认知和社会心理数据以及司法记录。结果显示，有47％的缓刑人员报告了TBI。患有TBI缓刑的人也有合并的行为健康状况，例如精神疾病，药物滥用，外伤史和自杀未遂。缓刑官员更有可能将其确定为高风险，重罪定罪率较高，缓刑成功率较低，并且重犯的可能性也更大。
