IN ORDER TO SUPERVISE ADEQUATE PROBATION PROCEDURES, A SYSTEMS APPROACH TO PROBATION, WHICH UTILIZES SPECIFIC ACTIONS PERFORMED BY MEMBERS OF A PROBATION TEAM, IS NECESSARY. THE BASIC GOAL OF PROBATION SUPERVISION IS TO CORRECT THE DELINQUENT BEHAVIOR OF THE JUVENILE. OBJECTIVES FOR REACHING THAT GOAL ARE CONTROLLING THE BEHAVIOR OF THE CHILD SO THAT HE MAY BE ABLE TO FUNCTION IN THE COMMUNITY, PROTECTING THE COMMUNITY FROM FURTHER DELINQUENT CRIMES, HELPING THE CHILD REALIZE THAT HE MUST ACCOUNT FOR HIS OWN BEHAVIOR, AND PROVIDING PARENTAL GUIDENCE TO ENABLE PARENTS TO ACHIEVE CONTROL OF THE JUVENILE'S DEVELOPMENT AND BEHAVIOR. PROCEDURES FOR REACHING THESE OBJECTIVES ARE SUGGESTED AS FOLLOWS: (1) USE OF A WRITTEN PROBATION CONTRACT CLEARLY POINTING OUT BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS AND CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATION; (2) MONITORING JUVENILE BEHAVIOR THROUGH CONSISTENT SURVEILLANCE BY PROBATION OFFICERS; (3) ENFORCEMENT OF VIOLATIONS OF THE CONTRACT; AND PLACING RESPONSIBILITY ON THE PARENTS FOR ASSUMING THE CENTRAL ROLE IN THE CARE AND SUPERVISION OF THE CHILD.
