Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses how the wide range of methods used in prisons around the world reflect societal attitudes toward criminals and the purpose of prisons in their punishment and eventually their rehabilitation. The writer examines how many correctional organizations have adopted a direct supervision approach which many proponents suggest is the most effective method available today in many corrections settings. This paper provides an overview of direct supervision and how it is used. The writer concludes by providing a summary of the research in this regard.

Review and Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Today, both jails and prisons use direct supervision techniques. According to Mark Dow, the direct supervision inmate management principle is a means by which "[the] staff is trained to look at people as rational human beings who make conscious decisions whether or not to violate a rule". Direct supervision as a philosophy for prisons first emerged during the 1970s following a long period of neglect. "The Federal Bureau of Prisons was at the forefront of this new generation of facilities and in the process," these authors note, "also experimented with new operational approaches. What eventually became known as direct supervision was refined and used at many of the new federal facilities". At the time, the BOP, in collaboration with its architects, created three metropolitan detention centers in Chicago, New York and San Diego that were specifically designed to facilitate direct-supervision operations."

Abstract
Traditional facilities organize their inmates according to those who need maximum, medium, and minimum security. This paper explains that there has been a new trend in correctional organizations that is called ?direct supervision", which allows correctional officers to interact directly with inmates, thus allowing officers to manage inmates? behavior at a much more detailed level. This paper examines the benefits and shortcomings of this practice.
From the Paper
"Direct supervision can be distinguished from other management approaches in a few ways. First, the setting is different from traditional jail facilities. Inmates under direct supervision live in cells that are arranged around a common area, often called a pod or a day room. In this room, there is no secure control booth for the supervising officer, and there are no physical barriers between the officer and the inmates. While the officer might have a table or desk reserved for paperwork, it is still within the open area of the day room (National Institute of Corrections). This setting might establish a sense of trust and a slight feeling of freedom among the inmates. Thus, if inmates have this sense of freedom, they might be less likely to misbehave."

From the Paper
"Supervision and supervisory techniques have been part of civilization since the first work or hunt detail was organized millennia ago. However, the theoretical practices of supervision and enlightened management style have only been in vogue during the last three or four decades. Indeed, since the future of any profession depends not only on its intrinsic ability to transmit its knowledge and values to new members, the role of supervision within the workplace has recently evolved into more of a scientific study of human behavior, psychology, and emotional gratification techniques. This paper will thus concentrate on the idea of supervision as the guidance, leadership, and control of the efforts of a group of individuals toward a common goal. It will analyze the planning stages of supervisory activity, the evaluation stage, the coordination stage, the encouragement ... "

Counseling Supervision, 2004.
This paper is a literature review discussing the nature and principles of counseling supervision.

Abstract
This paper explains that the purpose of counseling supervision is to safeguard the client by promoting the development and well-being of the counselor, monitoring the counselor?s work, and training the counselor. The author points out that the systems approach model is built on seven dimensions, including the institution, the supervisor, the functions of supervision, the supervision relationship, the client, the trainee, and the tasks of supervision. The paper relates that the supervision must always be vigilant, fair, and thorough, with supervisors always staying in contact with their supervisees, lest the pressure and drama associated with a myriad of client personality types take the supervisees into an unreal situation regarding therapy.

From the Paper
"In the book, "Clinical Supervision: A Systems Approach" (Holloway, 1995), the author lays out the fact that ?supervision is among the most complex of all activities associated with the practice of psychology.? Additionally, Holloway (2-3) asserts that ?clinical supervision? ? which takes place between two individuals, one the supervisor, one the supervisee, who meet on a regular schedule to discuss clinical and professional issues ? goes deeper to the heart of the needs of the counsellor than administrative supervision. In short, clinical supervision concentrates on developing the supervisee?s skills, offers support for and helps frame the vision of the supervisee. Administrative supervision is about paperwork, recruiting, delegating and ?acting as a change agent within the organization.?"

From the Paper
"Robert Goldhammer was an educator who strongly believed that teachers should have ongoing supervision in order to continue their effectiveness and to maximize pupil learning. He was an early proponent of the process of "clinical supervision," a term coined by his mentor, Morris Cogan, during their mutual work at Harvard. He refined Professor Cogan's eight step process, called "the cycle of supervision," to a less complex method of five stages, which he called the "sequence of supervision" His landmark text, Clinical Supervision: Special Methods for the Supervision of Teachers was the first in this new field.
The ideas for clinical supervision found their roots in the ... "

Abstract
In today's classroom environment there are many teaching methods and supervision techniques in use. These methods range from the authoritarian approach to the passive approach, providing a wide array of results in academic performance, levels of unacceptable behaviors and overall classroom environments. This paper examines the authoritarian approach to teaching and supervision and discusses the benefits of such a teaching method. Additionally, the paper presents the writer's opinion of why the authoritarian method of supervision is ideal for use in grade school classrooms.
From the Paper
"Additionally, the authoritarian teacher emphasizes rules and discipline. Failure to obey those rules is followed by appropriate punishment techniques. While positive reinforcement is certainly used to encourage good behavior, negative reinforcement is often used to discourage inappropriate behaviors. In short, authoritarian supervision of students depends upon the teacher acting as the ultimate authority, providing direction in all classroom activity and making most classroom decisions (Hawley, 1996)."

Abstract
The author of this paper reports that she has formed a strong personal belief that supervision guides or influences people and their actions. The author also stresses that she has learned from experience that supervision is neither a single notion nor action, but rather an ongoing series of egalitarian processes and actions. The author then goes on to discuss her belief in the value of public education. The paper includes an annotated bibliography.
From the Paper
"The staggering statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics will further validate my beliefs that public education is superb. The National Center for Education Statistics, or NCES, is located within the U.S. Department of Education and the Institute of Education Sciences. This section of the department of education is the primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data related to education. In 1972 only 49 percent of students in postsecondary education enrolled in 2-year and 4- year colleges immediately after high school; now that statistic has climbed to 69 percent."

Abstract
In this article the writer examines the case of Thomas User, a drug user who has twice violated the terms of his probation by relapsing into drug use. The paper argues against incarceration but suggests that, because Mr. User cannot be trusted to monitor himself, he should be placed in a half-way house environment where he can receive supervision from others. Beyond that, the writer discusses that this environment will control who Mr. User sees, will make sure that he attends his counseling for his substance abuse problem, and will allow him to receive around-the-clock support from skilled professionals.
From the Paper
"Supervision in Probation and Parole: the case of Thomas User. Regrettably, narcotics use and narcotics distribution has become a very pervasive problem in our contemporary society. The following paper will examine the case of a man who became entwined in the narcotics web and who compounded his difficulties by breaching the terms of his probation. The following paper will argue that the best way of dealing with the matter is to tighten up the conditions of Thomas User's probation via adding more conditions to his probation. Among these, it may be advisable for the Probation Officer to place Thomas in a half-way home where he can be carefully monitored and where his whereabouts will be constantly known to professional staff trained to help men like him overcome their problems with substance abuse. With this in mind, it is to a discussion of Thomas that this paper now turns."

Abstract
This paper cites a number of different expert opinions on the role of the supervisor in the counseling process. The paper uses these expert opinions to explain the role of the supervisor and the relationship that might exist between the supervisor and the trainee. The paper also discusses the damage that can occur as a result of nondisclosure of relevant case material by supervisees, such as diminished treatment quality or increased liability risk of supervisors. Additionally, the paper discusses eight supervisory themes and issues that tend to recur in group supervisor supervision and suggests intervention strategies to address them.
From the Paper
"Gundrun (1991) stated that supervision means that trainees are confronted with old patterns of relating to authority figures. In the trainees' unconscious minds, supervisors play the roles of parents, teachers, or other authority figures. Especially in the early supervisory process, supervisors may be identified with parental figures. We may assume that the supervisory situation is evocative of the supervisees' relationship with authority figures, independent of the role supervisors may play in reality. For example, supervisors can act more as teachers of psychotherapy with a patient-centered approach, giving didactic comments about the patients and recommendations on technique or in a more supervisee-oriented approach, they can focus on the supervisees' experiences with their patients and supervisors, by exploring attitudes rather than teach techniques. A third approach supervisors could use would be two combining or alternating the patient-centered and supervisee-oriented approaches according to the demands of the situation."

Abstract
The paper discusses how nurses and nursing management personnel have felt themselves pulled in two directions. The paper examines how understaffed and poorly funded modern hospitals are more reliant on nurses than ever before to provide care to patients. This paper proposes a transformational approach to leadership, encouraging a new approach to allocating nursing staff within different hospital wards. The writer maintains that it is necessary to take into consideration alternative factors such as the types of patients different wards are designed to serve and likely patient demands upon staff, rather than rely upon the traditional per person per nursing hour calculation, where every patient is assumed to require the same level of hourly nursing care.

"The ANA made one critical suggestion. The ANA stated that there was a critical need to either retire or seriously question the usefulness of the concept of nursing hours per patient per day, as a way of monitoring an adequate care level in a hospital environment. This formulaic guideline was inappropriate, the ANA stated, because when determining nursing hours of care, one is dealing with the inevitably variable needs of human patients, and there is no one size fits all equation."

From the Paper
"The American juvenile justice system is considered a system in crisis. It is not only overloaded by increased delinquency, but it is also a system seen as ineffective at the best of times. There has long been a tension in the system between the twin missions of punishment and rehabilitation, just as there is in the adult criminal justice system. With juveniles, however, there is the added belief that the offenders are less responsible for their actions than are adults, that the system has a role as substitute parent, and that alternatives to incarceration are particularly valuable to meld these missions. However, as juvenile crime has increased in incidence and severity, the public has become less patient and has demanded punishment over rehabilitation, seeing this as a way to protect itself against the depredations of young offenders. Community based corrections ... "

"Ornstein and Hunkins (1993) have stated that the field of curriculum/instruction is directly related to the field of supervision. As the authors put it: ...once curriculum is created, we need to "look" at, to supervise, how it is being delivered. (p. 201)
The purpose of the paper presented here is to examine theory and research on instructional supervision. The presented review begins with a brief historical overview of theoretical approaches to instructional supervision. More current research is then examined. In general, the review focuses on literature that emphasizes theoretical conceptions of those methods and procedures school administrators can use to improve school instruction."

Abstract
This paper discusses how a dental student who is treating patients after hours without a license and without direct faculty supervision violates the principles of patient autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, and veracity. This paper first briefly reviews the salient points of the case in question. An analysis of the actions taken is compared to alternative options that may or may not have been considered at the time. A discussion of the ethical considerations in line with the perspectives of peers and the professional organization follows, as well as a discussion of the ethical perspective and the alternative actions that should have been taken.

Case Review
Ethical Considerations
Alternative Actions
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another salient point that must be considered is the backdrop within which these incidences occurred. The student has admitted and is documented as per student evaluation, that he has exhibited prior deficiencies in time management and substandard preparation for clinic sessions. It has not been documented sufficiently that the student sought specific opportunities through his mentors to more efficiently help correct the cause of these deficiencies, whether a deficit in clinical knowledge, proficiency or otherwise (ADA, 2006)."
