This dynamic, streamlined, and completely up-to-date study offers a thorough, practical overview of the way our current system of probation and parole deals with convicted adults and juvenile offenders. Examines the most crucial, cutting-edge issues, and presents several sides of the argument, it combines standard topics in probation and parole with full coverage of recent trends in community corrections - describing a wide range of current programs, including such options as electronic monitoring, home incarceration, community day reporting centers, and victim compensation programs. It discusses various classes of offenders, with a special section on the problems posed by juveniles, and examines such professional topics as training and officer effectiveness, as well as the larger issues of economic and political influences on the system. Well-organized, it stresses a legalistic approach, noting key legal cases where appropriate and includes our most recent Supreme Court decisions. One of the many Third Edition highlights include an extensive discussion of presentence investigation reports for both state and local application, along with their preparation.
