Community Corrections Fines and Fees Study

The Community Corrections Fines and Fees Study (CCFF) is led by University of Cincinnati Assistant Professor Dr. Ebony Ruhland (Principal Investigator). The project is a multi-state, mixed-methods study that examines how fines and fees operate in community corrections (probation and parole) and how fines and fees impact the ability of individuals to succeed on supervision in several U.S. states. Dr. Ruhland leads a team of professors and researchers from multiple universities studying this issue in six states: Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.
