If you don’t speak English, the PSI writer can access an interpreter to help you communicate with probation. The PSI writer will ask about treatment services for the offender and whether or not you want limited or no contact with the offender. The PSI writer also will ask for your views on the sentence, restitution and conditions of probation. The PSI writer will contact you to get your input on the impact of this incident, information about any other abuse or violence used by the offender and whether there is a pattern of ongoing coercion, intimidation or violence. It also includes recommendations as to jail time to be served, if any, conditions of probation, no contact orders and restitution. The PSI reports include the official version of the incident, prior criminal history, social history, drug and alcohol background, victim statement, and history of domestic violence. The supervising probation officer will look at the history of domestic abuse, your safety needs, the impact of the incident on you and the offender’s needs. If the offender is placed on probation as part of his sentence, it helps the probation officer who supervises the offender get a more complete picture of the incident. It also helps the court consider whether the plea agreement is appropriate. It helps the court to impose a sentence that takes into account victim safety, offender accountability and rehabilitation. The PSI puts the incident and the offender’s history into context. They will write a pre-sentence investigation report (PSI). Probation officers interview offenders and prepare reports for sentencing. The units works exclusively with offenders who have been convicted of violence against spouses or significant others. These units provide sentencing recommendations and probation supervision to offenders referred from court. Probation has a Domestic Abuse Pre-Sentence Investigation Unit and a Domestic Abuse Supervising Unit.
