Explanation:

• Question 8: Collateral contact involves a probation/parole officer speaking with a third - party who knows the offender. Baseline contact is more about initial data collection, restrictive contact is about limiting contact in a different sense, and confidential contact implies privacy not in line with the description.
• Question 9: Pretrial Diversion is an alternative to traditional sentencing for first - time offenders. Sentencing guidelines are for determining sentences, determinate sentencing is a type of sentence length determination, and expungement is about record - clearing after.
• Question 10: Graduated sanctions are structured, incremental responses to non - compliance. Technical violations are the non - compliant acts, gender - responsive strategies are about addressing gender - specific needs, and punitive responses are more about punishment rather than structured, incremental actions.
• Question 11: Static risk factors are past, unchangeable variables related to recidivism. Dynamic risk factors can change, protective factors reduce risk, and cognitive factors are about mental processes.
• Question 12: When making bail release decisions, courts consider the severity of the offense, risk to community/public safety, and flight risk. So all the above (d) is correct.
• Question 13: A case plan is an individualized document for fulfilling court - ordered conditions. Risk assessment is about evaluating risk, pretrial progress report is about progress before trial, and since a case plan fits the description, “none of the above” (d) is incorrect.

1. B. Collateral contact
