“…The large-scale increase in reliance on probation requires system personnel to adopt varied approaches that facilitate success among their clients. Accordingly, the models of practice for supervising youth and adults vary depending on the type of offense, the individual's risk factors, their likelihood to recidivate, and their psychosocial needs-with high-risk, high-need youth and adults requiring more intensive intervention (Agopian, 1990;gies et al, 2013;Jacobs & gottlieb, 2020;Turner et al, 2022;Viljeon et al, 2018).
