Does a probation condition that is not related to the underlying crime or future criminality need to be considered to be rehabilitated?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Hopkins, 30 Cal.App.4th 485, 35 Cal.Rptr.2d 861 (Cal. App. 1994):

This appeal squarely illustrates one situation where probation conditions unrelated to the underlying offense and to future criminality do assist in the reformation of a probationer. "The major goal of section 1203.1 is to rehabilitate the criminal." (People v. Richards, supra, 17 Cal.3d at p. 620, 131 Cal.Rptr. 537, 552 P.2d 97.) Thus, section 1203.1 should be interpreted in a manner which allows for reasonable probation conditions that motivate probationers toward responsible citizenship. The language of section 1203.1 does not imply that a condition of probation must be related to the crime or future criminality. On the contrary, it authorizes conditions that are "generally and specifically for the reformation and rehabilitation of the probationer."
