Program Details

The program examines the way in which case-management has been a natural part of probation, parole and other services supervising clients at various stages of transitioning back into community.

It takes a look at the way in which offender clients requirements, community corrections, and jail diversion programs have created the need to increase the focus on case-management to the level of formal practice within probation and parole.
