Probation/parole client and programs

• Use the strengths from some of the programs that you have researched in your design.

• Provide specific details as to how and why your program will be a success.

• Provide details about at least 2 of these programs, and explain how well they have worked.

• Do you think any of these alternatives would be effective—even more so than traditional probation or parole practices? Explain.

• How could they be made more effective?
