Tribe: Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Montana
Sec. 706. Declaration of purpose and policy.
The Tribal Executive Board finds and declares
that probation is a desirable disposition of appro-
priate criminal cases because:
(a) It provides a framework by which the Tribes
can supervise positive rehabilitative measures
imposed on an offender by a court;
(b) The offender remains under the purview of
the Court while engaging in the educational, ther-
apeutic and community restorative pursuits that
add up to a successful rehabilitation;
(c) It maximizes the liberty of the individual
while at the same time vindicating the authority
of the law and effectively protecting the public
from further violations of the law;
(d) It affirmatively promotes the rehabilitation
of the offender by continuing normal community
contacts; and
(e) It minimizes the impact of the conviction
upon innocent dependents of the offender.
