CRJS 3380 Probation and Parole (3 credits)

This course provides an in-depth study of probation and parole within the broader framework of community corrections. Students will examine the history, philosophy, and legal foundations of probation and parole in both the United States and England, as well as current practices and challenges in the field. Major topics include offender assessment and classification, supervision strategies, evidence-based practices, problem-solving courts, residential and non-residential programs, and the supervision of special populations. Attention is also given to legal issues such as prisoner reentry, collateral consequences of felony convictions, and due process in community supervision. Emphasis is placed on developing applied skills, including the preparation of professional reports such as violation reports and pre-sentence investigations. By the end of the course, students will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience to better understand the evolving role of probation and parole in the criminal justice system.
