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 identifies and elaborates on the various alternatives to traditional methods of probation and parole. In many cases, probation and parole in the United States simply do not work, or do not apply to all offenders and, instead, they add to the problem of recidivism in the nation's prisons. The criminal justice system needs to find alternatives to traditional methods of parole and probation to combat the overcrowding of the system, as well as the problems with maintaining control of parolees and probationers.
From the Paper
"First, the nation must create better, more meaningful educational opportunities for young minorities, to keep them in school rather than on the streets, and more drug and addiction counseling so that those criminals who are addicts can lead more meaningful lives away from crime and addiction. It is clear the criminal justice system needs to evolve into something that is more viable and more serviceable to the people in the system, and the first way is to keep people out of the system in the first place."

Probation and Parole, 2004.
This paper discusses that both parole and probation encompass the re-integration of convicted criminals within their communities in a supervised, controlled, and humane manner.

Abstract
This paper discusses that promoting parole and probation over incarceration is cost-effective and reduces taxpayer responsibility for funding prisons. The author points out that criminals who are offered parole or probation are placed into the care of outside agencies, which are often volunteer-based or privatized. The paper concludes that integration into the community places the focus of criminal justice issues back to the root causes of poverty, poor schooling, and other issues that jails simply do not address.
From the Paper
"Moreover, parole and probation are humanitarian approaches to criminal justice, which often serves only to dehumanize offenders. Parole and probation both address crime as a community-based social issue and encourages the partnership of law enforcement agencies, faith-based organizations, and social service providers. Because human beings are capable of change, parole and probation encourage a realistic, humane outlook on the part of law enforcement, the criminal justice system, and the population at large. The American Probation and Parole Organization?s official position on probation is that human beings are capable of change; moreover, probation as a sentence offers due process of law for the offenders at the same time as it protects society and victims from harm."

Parole and Probation, 2004.
A paper looking into the issues of parole and probation.

Abstract
This paper examines how probation and parole are two ways of dealing with an offender without keeping him or her in prison. When an offender is let out on parole, then he or she is being released from prison before his or her full sentence has been carried out. Probation is a program that was offered as an alternative to imprisoning an offender. It examines the probation and parole programs and offers a personal opinion of their efficiency and relevancy in the criminal justice system.
From the Paper
"Robert James Bidinotto (1994) considers parole and probation to be extensions of the prison program in an excuse-making effort to free up overcrowded prisons. Bidinotto (1994) also believes that parole and probation do not work as alternatives to prison sentences and that there were many unnecessary, repeat crimes by offenders that would have not occurred had the offender been locked away. The prison guards and other prison employees favor probation and parole because it helps to relieve them from the responsibilities of having to watch more prisoners and also reduces the likelihood of injuries to jail and prison employees. Prison employees and court judges would rather see innocent civilians hurt rather than increase the risk of prison riots and injuries within the jails."

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
This paper examines battered women syndrome (BWS), women who serve indeterminate life sentences for killing a spouse or intimate partner that was abusing them. It provides a history of BWS, looks at the 'types' of batterings that lead to this syndrome such as physical and sexual and evaluates parole in the state of California by reviewing recent events. It analyzes various cases of women who are eligible for parole, but are not paroled. The paper leans toward the side of battered women who have served their sentences and should be granted parole.
From the Paper
"There are many elements to Battered Women's Syndrome, which makes the definition of this phenomenon broad and complex. The predominant types of battering that lead to this syndrome are physical, sexual, and psychological battering (NVADV). Battering may include emotional abuse, economic abuse, sexual abuse, using children, threats, using male privilege, intimidation, isolation, and a variety of other behaviors used to maintain fear, intimidation and power. The California Board of Prison Terms defines BWS as a series of common characteristics that appear in women who are physically and/or psychologically abused, over an extended period of time, by a dominant male figure in their lives (BPT). In all cultures, the perpetrators are most commonly the men of the family."

From the Paper
"This juvenile probation department of Cook County, made up of the city of Chicago and its outlying metropolitan areas, is very similar to that of Lehigh County in many ways, especially in relation to aiming for a "balanced and restorative justice" and to hold offenders accountable for their illegal conduct which, it is hoped, will help them "to develop positive life skills to enable them to become productive members of the community." But unlike Lehigh County, Cook County, on its website, provides a mission statement consisting of the aim to recognize the welfare of all children and their families based on public safety; it also is committed to "providing the guidance, structure and services needed by every child under its supervision." Thus, both of these juvenile probation departments have very similar goals, namely, to protect society from repeat offenders while providing equal and fair justice to the offenders, due to their age and, at times, negative social positions."

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)."

This paper discusses approaches to parole programs to prevent recidivism.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that parole, which is a conditional release of people serving time that allows them to serve the rest of their time outside jail in the community as long as they comply with the terms of the release; hence, multiple programs have been designed to stop them from violating these terms. The paper discusses the Reintegrating Alternatives Personal Program (RAPP), run by Christian volunteers who get parolees employed and reunited with their families by offering a wide range of services such as counseling for substance abuse and mentoring and a plan devised by Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr., which pays parolees, who report on time to their parole offices, a monthly stipend of $25. The paper is critical of both programs and stresses that, for a plan to ensure the prevention and cure of recidivism, it must be targeted and specific in nature depending on the person it is dealing with and should be run by a professional staff.
From the Paper
"Giving $25 worth of incentives to report to the parole officer is not a good idea and apart from them reporting to a parole officer, the parole officer should also be mobile enough to go out to them if they don't appear on the scheduled day. The parolee should also be made to visit a psychologist every month who can in turn keep on updating the progress. Assistance should be given to those who require a job desperately. A program should be such that it would cover all the bases to benefit the parolee and naturally benefit the society. Rehabilitation should be provided to those addicted to drugs and their families should be involved in the rehabilitation process so that the support which he would receive from them would help his transition to a drug free much easier.".
