families in courts, the community and prisons. The purpose of the work of a PPOs is prevent reoffending by

reports to assist the court in determining appropriate sentences for the offenders. If an offender is provided

3. Discuss the procedure for the grant of parole.
A judge may grant probation as an alternative to imposing a jail sentence. Probation is ordered when the
circumstances and seriousness of the crime suggest that the probationer is not a threat to society and that
incarceration is not an appropriate punishment. The probationer may freely live in the community, but must
abide by certain conditions of probation for a period of time specified by the court and and report regularly to
an appointed probation officer. General conditions of probation may include living where directed,
participating in rehabilitation programs, submitting to drug and alcohol tests and maintaining employment.
Probationers may be required to show proof to the court that they have complied with all conditions of
probation. If a probationer fails to comply with all required conditions, the court may revoke probation and
require the probationer to serve a jail sentence.
