Probation Services
Probation services are a part of the criminal justice system that supervise offenders who are allowed to live in the community instead of serving time in prison. When individuals are sentenced to probation, they must follow specific rules set by the court, like regularly meeting with a probation officer, attending counseling, or maintaining employment. The goal of probation is to rehabilitate offenders, reduce recidivism, and ensure public safety. It allows individuals to reintegrate into society while still being held accountable for their actions. Successful completion of probation can lead to reduced penalties or record expungement.
