If misbehavior leads to ending probation, this is known as?

• A. Revocation
• B. Suspension
• C. Completion
• D. Transfer

Answer: (A)

Probation revocation is the process that ends probation when a supervisee violates the conditions. When misbehavior is detected, a probation violation is filed, and the court can revoke the probation. Once revoked, the court may impose the original sentence or impose new punishment, commonly incarceration, up to what's allowed by the violation. This mechanism enforces compliance and protects public safety by withdrawing the probationary release when terms aren’t met.

Suspension would be a temporary pause, not a formal end to probation. Completion means successfully finishing the term, not ending it due to misconduct. Transfer would move supervision to another jurisdiction or agency, not terminate the probation.
