The purpose of the Swift, Certain, and Fair (SCF) Supervision Program is to provide state, local, and tribal community supervision agencies with information, resources, and training and technical assistance (TTA) to engage in collaborative problem-solving with stakeholders using data and research-informed strategies to assess and improve responses to client behavior in accordance with the principles of swiftness, certainty, and fairness; improve supervision outcomes; prevent recidivism; and reduce crime in their jurisdictions. The SCF principles are: • Swiftness—responding to behavior promptly so that people under supervision connect the response to their behavior. • Certainty—ensuring that sanctions and rewards are applied with consistency and predictability. • Fairness—making sanctions proportionate to negative behavior and rewards appropriate to positive behavior.
