What is categorized as a severity 2 (S2) non-compliance level?

The classification of severity 2 (S2) non-compliance primarily involves recurring or multiple violations. This designation exists to emphasize patterns of behavior that raise concerns regarding an individual’s adherence to the conditions of their supervision or parole. The presence of repeated violations indicates a more severe issue than isolated incidents, suggesting that the individual is struggling to comply with the conditions set forth.

In contrast, isolated violations typically do not demonstrate ongoing issues and hence are not considered as severe. New crimes that are not classified as misdemeanors, while serious, fall under different compliance levels based on the nature and severity of the act rather than the recurrent nature of violations. Circumstances beyond an offender's control may warrant leniency or different considerations but do not fit into the established framework of S2 non-compliance, which focuses on repeated failures to adhere to regulations. Therefore, the choice reflecting recurring or multiple violations aligns closely with the criteria for more serious non-compliance, thus justifying the selection of this option as correct.
