(a)The purpose of the probation department is to protect the safety and property of persons by prevention of juvenile delinquency and adult crime and related family malfunctioning, with maximum effectiveness and at reasonable cost.
(b)Probation is concerned with assisting individuals and families through a full range of services to avoid behavior which caused their original difficulties.
(c)In the broadest context, management of probation operations includes the participation of those executives and legislators who have responsibility for determination of the laws, policies, staffing and budgets for the probation department. Probation administrators must be effective in their relationships and dealings with executives and legislators.
(d)Probation management must share with the community in identifying and developing resources and innovative programs for prevention of crime and delinquency.
(e)Another important management perspective is the organization and coordination of all levels of employees of the probation department in the execution of probation functions.
(f)A body of sound management knowledge and practice, expressed in “rules”, has been developed through long experience of both private industry and government. It is important that the employees of the probation organization understand and apply the “rules” of sound probation management.
