(1) Before

individualized behavioral responses, including incentives and sanctions, to guide
probation officers in determining how best to motivate positive behavior change

accountability-based series of behavioral responses, intermediate sanctions,
incentives, and services designed to respond to a probationer's violation of
probation quickly, fairly, consistently, and proportionally. The system of structured

change, successful completion of probation, and a probationer's individual
behavioral or treatment goals.

individualized behavioral responses developed pursuant to this subsection (3) or
develop and use an equivalent and locally developed system that is aligned to best
practices.
