The focus of this research is on whether or not probation professionals have adopted a particular orientation which they attempt to implement when supervising adult probationers. For the study, 703 adult probation professionals were sent a survey which was constructed to reflect common practices of enforcement and rehabilitation in probation work. Results showed that probation professionals clearly view probation goals as equally focused on both enforcement and rehabilitation. This finding is important given the public's demand that probation should apply its energies in the direction of enforcement-oriented practices. The finding of a dual-goal system is important as well because in the 1980's community, corrections systems clearly focused on the enforcement aspect of offender supervision. 4 tables, 25 references.
