The Future

The Future
APPA anticipates that products and services developed under this initiative will continue to be available.
This project exemplifies the challenges and opportunities presented by committed interagency collaborations -- a primary focus of the training and technical assistance developed under this initiative. Without this shared commitment, the intersystem flavor that worked to enhance the project's products and service delivery would have been lost.

American Probation and Parole Association
The American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) is an international association consisting of individuals from the United States and its territories and Canada who are actively involved with probation, parole, and community-based corrections for both adult and juvenile offenders. APPA's membership includes representatives of all levels of government, including local, State/provincial, and Federal agencies. Today, there are more than 24,000 professionals represented in APPA's individual, agency, affiliate, corporate, and educational institution membership categories.
APPA strongly supports research in community-based corrections and is committed to offering the most recent innovations to the field. Several research and training projects funded by Federal Government agencies and private foundations contribute to this knowledge base. In addition, APPA conducts semiannual training institutes; publishes a quarterly journal, Perspectives, that disseminates articles on field research, program evaluations, and supervision strategies; disseminates other publications on topics relevant to community corrections; and conducts training courses on special topics and technical assistance provided to State and local jurisdictions. APPA also has a clearinghouse of information resources for its members where files on current topics are maintained and information can be furnished to members on request.
