many people, whereby instead of going to jail, they will have a chance to be involved in rehabilitation programs. In this case, the program aims to change people’s be- havior regarding the crime they committed, allowing the offender to avoid any criminal record. In the county, various circumstances exist where diversion can be an alternative to incarceration. For instance, most diversionary programs limit involvement to people who have previous sentences for the charges they are presently fa- cing. When developing any diversionary program, legislators also consider the offense type that makes offenders eligible for the program. The offenses typically in- volve non-violent and minor crimes such as personal possession of certain drugs, driving under drug influence, and petty theft. Again, domestic violence, assaults in- volving minor or no injuries, and child neglect or abuse may also fit in diversionary programs. Diversion programs may extend from six months to more than a year (Johnson et al., 2020). The programs emphasize treatment, behavior modification, and counseling over punitive measures. In response to crime challenges
in my city, I would recommend various diversion programs. For example, a drug court that facilitates rehabilitation would be a better alternative to incarceration for people with a minor drug arrest. In this case, people with drugs and alcohol-related offenses will complete hours in drug classes. Domestic violence charges will also have to complete certain hours in anger management and domestic violence classes. Again, people who commit minor assault will require mental health courts. Part #2
Probation
Various circumstances may render a judge to offer probation as an incarceration alternative. For instance, ordering probation happens when circumstances and
crime’s seriousness suggest that the probationer is no longer a threat to the community. A judge may also grant probation when incarceration is not the appropriate punishment. In this case, the probationer freely lives in the community but abides by certain probation conditions for the period specified by the court. General pro- bation conditions involve participating in rehabilitation programs, maintaining employment, living as directed, and submitting drug tests. Failure to comply with all re- quirements can make the court revoke probation and necessitate the probationer to serve a prison sentence. The goal of probation is to rehabilitate and guide
offenders back into society as it minimizes their likelihood to commit a new offense (Canton, 2018). When probationers are trying to navigate through their com- munity supervision term, the probation officer can identify other problem areas and issues that the probationer is facing. For instance, the officer identifies substance addictions and mental health issues when an individual is on probation. Most are the times when these areas underlie the offender’s criminal behavior. After identific- ation, the court can order extra programs, probationer’s rehabilitative requirements, and immediate intervention that incarceration does not reduce probationer’s re- cidivism. Sanctions would be the probation aspect that probationers find as most challenging while on probation. For instance, the proposed sanction can include tak- ing new classes, jail, and extending probation. In this case, sanctions would be expensive, whereby most probationers cannot afford to pay prolonged probation costs. Part #3
Parole and Reintegration
Early release is a good strategy in reducing overcrowding in prison. Reducing and standardizing sentence length lowers overcrowding in prisons by cutting
sentences down to suitable and manageable times. Early release successfully serves to restrain prison population growth temporarily until enacting permanent solu- tions to crowding. Overall, early release is also cost-effective. Additionally, awarding people with productive time and good behavior with the early release is a
great incentive to develop better outcomes and environments for non-violent inmates who receive rehabilitation, treatment, or education. In this case, early release substantially reduces the number of crimes suffered by the public. Some parolees may have a difficult time following all the required parole conditions (Ricciardelli, 2018). Not knowing where to start rebuilding their lives is also a significant problem for ex-offenders. The parolees face an overwhelming process when trying to re- connect with their families and friends, finding work, and finding a place to stay. In this case, parolees may render financial strain to their families, whom they heavily rely on for assistance and support in their transition back to a free life. Although acquiring a job is necessary for paroles, their criminal records and lack of resources to receive education while in prison cause some employers to pause.

The key to overcoming parole challenges would be to offer parolees with resources they require to be successful. The resources entail community and institutional anchors, which are significant components of effective reentry programs. For instance, they may receive supervision after release, reentry training, education while incarcerated, and resources to find employment or housing. The main thing restraining parolees from re-offending is authentic employment, making them see no need to go back to their old ways. Part #4
The Role of Supervision
Probation officers supervise people with criminal convictions but have probation sentences instead of jail time sentences. On the other hand, parole officers manage people with convictions and already served time in prison. In this case, they have arrest powers to the offenders that they supervise. However, both officers enforce court orders. For instance, both officers have a role in enforcing sanctions placed on the parolee or probationer, including alcohol testing and drug administration. The officers also refer criminals to specific programs such as drug treatment, anger management, and alcohol treatment programs that are helpful to the offender. Probation and parole officers mainly work in hostile environments or high crime areas. To address their safety concerns, the officers should frequently carry firearms, go out in groups, and receive safety training. Many parole and probation officers also experience great levels of work-related strain that result from extreme paper- work, meeting deadlines, and high caseloads. The consequences of stress entail tension in the officer’s family and adverse physical symptoms like lower back pain and headaches (Schaefer & Williams, 2020). In this case, a stress-management program, including adequate funding, reduction in organizational stress sources, and program evaluation, is necessary. If approved to employ more parole and probation officers, I would look for effective communication skills. In this case, the officers should have the ability to build strong relationships, offer a listening ear, and motivate people. I would also look for officers with critical thinking that involves logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and decision-making. Here, the officers will be able to assess if the offenders truly fulfill their release terms. I would recommend train- ing on defense tactics like firearm use and handling and responding to stressful and difficult situations.
