The main focus of the task force reform has been to work with the probation officials to develop policies and standards to guide the discretion of probation officers in the supervision of probationers. The Task Force took a number of specific steps to address how race might be influencing the discretionary decisions of probation officers. The State of Delaware hoped to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in the probation system by creating a more objective system of responding to probationer infractions and reducing the extent to which implicit bias can impact probation officers’ decision making.
