SOCIOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS OF THE STANDARD FORM OF PROBATION SUPERVISION.

Abstract

FOUR ELEMENTS OF PROBATION SUPERVISION ARE CONSIDERED. THE FIRST IS THE WORKING PHILOSOPHY OF THE OFFICER-THE WAY HE PERCEIVES HIS JOBS AND DUTIES. THE SECOND IS THE ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT IN WHICH THE OFFICER FINDS HIMSELF. THE THIRD IS THE LEGAL AND LOGICAL DEFINITION OF REVOCATION, AND THE FOURTH IS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH OF THE PROBATIONER. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
