Recommended: Role of a juvenile probation officer

As a probation or parole officer, it is my duty to monitor the behavior and rehabilitation of my assigned clients. In this scenario, I would inquire if her boss had previous knowledge of her criminal record or background before hiring her. If he was aware of such knowledge, I would have to advise her to seek legal advice, because this could be considered as harassment within the workplaces. As her probation or parole officer, I would try to settle this matter peacefully, by observing the behavior of my client and investigating her complaint. Bullying and intimidation of a person can have a devastating effect and this is what her boss is accused of. I would also advise my client to look for another place of employment.

  • Current Issues in the Correctional System

    1045 Words  | 3 Pages

    The “Tough on Crime” and “War on Drugs” policies of the 1970s – 1980s have caused an over populated prison system where incarceration is policy and assistance for prevention was placed on the back burner. As of 2005, a little fewer than 2,000 prisoners are being released every day. These individuals have not gone through treatment or been properly assisted in reentering society. This has caused individuals to reenter the prison system after only a year of being release and this problem will not go away, but will get worst if current thinking does not change. This change must be bigger than putting in place some under funded programs that do not provide support. As the current cost of incarceration is around $30,000 a year per inmate, change to the system/procedure must prevent recidivism and the current problem of over-crowed prisons.
