The state of Minnesota has the following statistics based on parole populations and probation populations. Statistics are based as of December 31st, 2006.
Minnesota lists 5427 stated on parole with a population of approximately 4431 (Glaze & Bonzar, 2006).
Minnesota reports 88,735 entries of probation, while reporting 80,324 exits of probation. The population as of December 31st, 2006 is stated as 127,289 (Glaze & Bonzar, 2006).
Compared to other states in the Midwest, Minnesota has the highest number aside from Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan. This statistic could be due to the fact that states such as Illinois and Ohio have cities with higher urban populations, or higher populations in general. Higher urban populations would mean more crime.
Minnesota has a higher number compared to all states in the West except California.
Numerous states in the Northeast have higher numbers than those of Minnesota's.
