Buyers Beware!
This book might be useful for college students, but WILL NOT help you with the probation officer exam.

Don't waste your money
Do not waste your money on this book!I ordered this piece of junk hoping that it can help me on the probation officer exam.However, instead of helping me, this book actually hurt me.The book had nothing to do with the probation officer exam.In fact, the exam was no where near the topics discussed and "emphasized" in the book.It consisted the history and overview of probation/parole.Honestly, if i wanted an overview, i would have just turned to my Criminal Justice 101 textbook (i actually don't have one, but you get the point.)This book offers no aid to real-world exams, which is what probation officer exams are based on.So save your money and time on something that's actually useful.Hope this helps. ...

Product Description
Community corrections have undergone a revolution over the past decade. Probation and parole populations have more than doubled, and offenders have generally committed more serious crimes. Money for these programs has not increased, placing pressure on the programs to create tougher but cheaper sanctions, while at the same time promising to rehabilitate offenders and keep communities safe. During this period, new programs have been set up, among them electronic monitoring, boot camps, and house arrest -- some successful, others not. This book brings together the best available information on the current context, implementation, and impact of community-based sanctions. It provides an overview of the changing face of community corrections and the debates about it, followed by commentary on and assessments of various programs. ... Read more

Product Description
So far there has been very limited research on the effectiveness of gender-responsive as compared to traditional supervision of women felons on probation and parole. This volume, based on extensive longitudinal, qualitative data from probation and parole officers and from in-depth interviews with the women themselves, fills this gap.

Merry Morash has based her study on data from two counties in the same state that differed markedly in their approaches to supervision. Gender Responsive County emphasized identifying and meeting a wide range of needs unique or common to women offenders. Traditional County emphasized compliance with rules and similar treatment for women and men. Within this comparative frame, Morash discusses life issues of women offenders, including dangerous places where they live, relationships with partners and children, and reliance on a mix of criminal and prosocial support networks. She documents change and demonstrates how a dedicated and innovative team of probation and parole officers apply a gender-responsive approach to produce positive outcomes for women addicted to drugs or dependent on destructive and abusive partners. ...
