CJ 110 Chapter Notes - Chapter 10: Family Therapy
Document Summary
Chapter 10 (book: the gaol of probation is to retain some control over criminal offenders while using community programs to help rehabilitate them. Special conditions to probation may be mandated by a judge who feels that the probationer is in need of particular guidance or control. Federal probation and pretrial services officers are federal law enforcement officers who have statutory authority to arrest or detain individuals suspected or convicted of federal offenses and to arrest probationers for violations of the conditions of probation. Probation or parole work consists primarily of four functions: pre-sentence investigations, intake procedures, diagnosis and needs assessment, client supervision, the social work model stresses an officers service role and views probationers and parolees as clients. In this model, officers are caregivers whose foals are to accurately assess the needs of their clients and to match clients with community resources, such as job placement, indigent medical care, family therapy, and psychological and substance abuse counseling.
