Efficient and effective community supervision
Efficient and effective community supervision
Community supervision, including probation and parole, is a pivotal component of the criminal justice system that offers an alternative to traditional incarceration, allowing individuals to serve their sentences in the community while adhering to specified conditions and supervision.
Criminal justice involvement perpetuates more criminal justice involvement. To overcome this dilemma and shift paradigms surrounding probation and parole, we developed the Person-Centered Supervision model for improving client services.
A Person-Centered approach promotes success by recognizing people as unique individuals with distinct strengths, needs, circumstances, and goals. This model enables us to provide individuals with resources and opportunities to ensure personal growth and support their transition into law-abiding and productive community members.
