Assignment 1: Effective Offender Supervision

Consider the following quotes:

• Statistics show that 97% of the 1.3 million inmates now in prison eventually will be released and will return to communities.
• . . . there is both a treatment-related component (reform) related to an offender's prognosis and a public safety (likelihood of further criminal activity) component contained within an offender's prognosis. Both must be considered simultaneously if the correctional agency is to fulfill its mission in a satisfactory manner.
