Annotation

THREE HUNDRED THIRTY MANAGERS OF PROBATION PROGRAMS WERE INTERVIEWED TO DETERMINE WHAT THEY PERCEIVED AS THE MOST IMPORTANT PROBATION PROBLEMS AND THOSE EASIEST TO SOLVE.

Abstract

SURVEY RESPONSES WERE CLASSIFIED BY SELECTED BACKGROUND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RESPONDENTS AND THEIR AGENCIES, INCLUDING TYPE OF AGENCY, REGION OF COUNTRY, AND ORGANIZATIONAL POSITION. THE MOST FREQUENTLY CITED PROBATION PROBLEM WAS RECRUITING AND MAINTAINING MANPOWER. NO CONSENSUS WAS REACHED ON THOSE PROBLEMS WHICH COULD BE RESOLVED.
