Description
The economic crisis, while global in its magnitude, has been particularly impactful on individual states. According to Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons, there will be a $2.3 billion budget shortfall for the next biennnum (2). This equates to a 36% cut in expenditures for state agencies over the next two years (July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2011). Public Safety, which includes both the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation and the Nevada Department of Corrections, is projected to lose 11% ,over $100 million, in funding over the next biennium. The aforementioned figures do not reflect the cuts which have already been implemented over the past year. The State of Nevada has already cut over 14% from the budgets of state agencies. There is currently a hiring freeze in Nevada for all but essential positions. This has resulted in 62 vacant officer positions statewide within the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation (3). The cuts have necessitated many changes in the policies and procedures that the Division uses to regulate how offenders are supervised. In turn, these regulations directly affect the degree to which our children are being protected from sexual predators.
