The ethical role of the juvenile probation officer is examined regarding the adolescent sex offender.
Abstract
A hypothetical model is presented in order to illustrate the need for role consonant treatment models. The applicability of the proffered model to other offender populations is presented, also stressing the appropriate role of the juvenile probation officer. Concomitant issues are explored, especially in relation to standardized regimens which would facilitate appropriate assessment of referrals, aid staff training, and remain efficacious.
