| Sumario: | The writer discusses the need for proactive supervision of offenders by probation and parole officers. He contends that probation and parole officers currently behave in a reactive manner, rather than performing their jobs with a passion and attacking the problems they encounter. For example, he argues that although fieldwork is probably the most important activity carried by probation and parole officers, it can become meaningless and routine. He discusses the issues of dealing with offender non-compliance and effecting change in the behavior of offenders, and he concludes by arguing that proactive supervision requires officers to be committed and creative. |
