Wk 5 Summative Assessment: Program Evaluation Presentation

Through this assessment, you have a chance to see how community corrections work to help offenders returning to the community under supervision by federal and state probation o�cers as well as state parole o�cers.

It is important to know that at the federal level, parole has been replaced by supervised release, again under the supervision of federal probation o�cers.

Why do we ask you to start your presentation with a de�nition of community corrections? You may have new hires or even interns attending the presentation, and it is important that everyone starts from the same point.

The presentation also gives you a chance to see the differences and similarities between the duties and responsibilities of probation and parole o�cers.

Getting a chance to see some community-based resources to help offenders make a successful reentry into their community is a chance to see the resources that are available to help the offender, and in some cases also provide help to the offender's family.

The assignment is also an effective way to see the professional efforts made by probation and parole o�cers to try and ensure that their offenders are successful in their reentry efforts.

The community corrections approach is also being seen as a viable and successful alternative to the incarceration approach that can help reduce prison overcrowding.

This assignment gives you some idea of the many varied resources that can be made available to help in that effort.
