You are at the Academy for Staff Development for basic probation officer training. During the class, the instructor asks the class if probation supervision should be weighted more toward law enforcement or social work. He says that the class will be discussing this the following day, and you should write a report containing your opinions. Be sure to address the following questions in your report:

• How does the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBP) in the probation and parole system impact how officers interact with offenders on their caseloads?
• How does the use of the risk-need-responsivity model impact case planning and the intensity of interventions to be used with a given offender?

Be sure to reference at least 2 outside sources using APA style. Needed by Tuesday by midnight central time.
