Subchapter
003
:
REVOCATION OF PROBATION
(Cite as: 28 V.S.A. § 303)
-
§ 303. Grounds for revocation
(a) Probation shall not be revoked unless the probationer violates a condition of his
or her probation or is convicted of another crime. The violation or conviction shall
be both a necessary and a sufficient ground for the revocation of probation.
(b) The court shall not revoke probation and order the confinement of the probationer
unless the court finds on the basis of the original offense and the intervening conduct
of the probationer that:
(1) confinement is necessary to protect the community from further criminal activity by
the probationer;
(2) the probationer is in need of correctional treatment which can most effectively be
provided if he or she is confined; or
(3) it would unduly depreciate the seriousness of the violation if probation were not
revoked. (Added 1971, No. 199 (Adj. Sess.), § 20.)
