A recent evaluation was conducted on the first three years of Canadian Bill C-67, which amended by Parole Act and the Penitentiary Act by allowing the National Parole Board to detain an offender on mandatory supervision beyond the normal release date or to release the offender to a community residential facility. The results showed that current and previous offenses, facility security classification, length of criminal history, race, expected date of release, and current admission type are all significant variables in predicting whether an offender will be referred for a detention review. The second item summarizes a recent study of attitudes among American community supervision officers. The findings suggested that there has been a shift of emphasis away from rehabilitative objectives in American corrections. A recent survey in Canada presented a profile of a typical community case management officer (CMO): employed with the Correctional Service of Canada for at least 10 years, male, has a bachelor's degree in the social sciences, and is in his mid- 30's. The survey also discussed training needs that CMO's feel are most relevant to their work. A follow-up study of the adult criminal careers of a cohort of boys who had been placed in the Ontario Training School system in the early 1970's showed that a large proportion had subsequently been incarcerated in provincial or Federal facilities. The final item summarizes employment trends in American corrections, based upon the latest census figures.
