What is Probation Transformation?
What is Probation Transformation?
Transforming Juvenile Probation: A Vision for Getting It Right Probation transformation fundamentally reimagines how probation officers work and whom they work with. Probation transformation examines and addresses what’s in the way of getting probation right, from structure and culture to resources, relationships and more. This big-picture thinking, combined with tested strategies to improve outcomes for young people, is at the heart of probation transformation. Related content includes the research case for eliminating confinement as a response to probation rule violations.
