The Study on the Scheme to Activate the System for Effective Probation - Centering around organization, personnel administration and cooperation with related agencies -
Probation system is characteristic of managing criminals in the community. For this reason, protection them from consecutive offenses is directly related to the function of national security. Accordingly, strengthening function of probation system that supplemented with more information on criminals and treatment techniques can contribute to reduction not only security related personnel but also national budget. However, even though work load of probation is rapidly increasing as the importance of the community treatment is gaining social concern, shortage of personnels in charge of probation is deteriorating specialization of probation and organizational efficiency. To improve this situation and bring specialization of probation, increasing manpower of probation and reforming organization to be regulated mainly by probation officers themselves are needed. In addition, cooperation with the related agencies can also contribute to crime prevention in local community.
