Probation in criminal law is a period of supervision over an offender, ordered by a court instead of serving time in prison.
In some jurisdictions, the term probation only applies to community sentences (alternatives to incarceration), such as suspended sentences. In others, probation also includes supervision of those conditionally released from prison on parole.
