Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Probation is an arrangement made by the sentencing authority (such as a judge) with the offender, allowing them to serve a period of supervision in the community instead of being sentenced to jail or prison time.

The legislative authority creates the laws and sentencing guidelines, but does not typically have a direct role in probationary decisions.
