Case Study: Out-of-Town Brown/Besieged Probation Supervisor

Probation officers are important because they are the ones who help the criminals get the necessary treatments needed to stay out of jail. Probation officers supervise offenders on probation through personal contact with the offenders and their families. Probations officers spend much of their time in the courts where they will learn all the facts of the accused criminal to understand their background. Understanding the background of the accused allows them to see the reasons why the crime may have been committed. There are many sentences that probation officers can arrange for the offenders. The sentences can be substance abuse rehabilitation, community service, job training, and wearing an electronic device. These smaller sentences can be a warning to let them know that committing crimes will not be tolerated.
