Fig. 2-5-2-6 shows the percent distribution of probationers/parolees whose probation/parole supervision terminated in 2010 by reason for termination. 95.4% of parolees and 71.1% of probationers had their probation/parole supervision terminated upon completion of their respective term. In contrast, 4.2% (609 persons) of parolees had their parole supervision revoked and 25.2% (1,039 persons) of probationers had their suspension of execution of the sentence revoked.

Examining the percentage of probationers/parolees whose probation/parole supervision was terminated due to revocation of all of those whose probation/parole supervision terminated in 2010 by their employment status at the time of the termination reveals the percentage of unemployed parolees who had their probation/parole supervision revoked to be 9.3% (1.7% for those employed) and 46.9% (10.5% (id.)) with probationers, thus indicating a remarkably high percentage when compared to those employed (Source: Annual Report of Statistics on Rehabilitation).

Fig. 2-5-2-7 shows the percent distribution of probationers/parolees by their employment status at the commencement/ termination of their probation/parole supervision in 2010. Although it is rather difficult to make an exact comparison as those whose probation/parole supervision started and those whose probation/parole supervision terminated during the respective year were not necessarily the same person the proportion of those who were employed was generally higher at the termination of their probation/parole supervision than at the commencement. However, 33.3% of parolees and 37.4% of probationers had their probation/parole supervision terminated while unemployed.
