| | Probation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The concept of probation, from the Latin word probatio - has historical roots in the practice of judicial reprieve--in English Common Law the Courts could temporarily suspensed the execution of a sentence to allow the defendant to appeal to the Crown for a pardon. | | | Known as the Interstate Compact For the Supervision of Parolees and Probationers, the agreement was originally signed by 25 states in 1937. | | | In 1951, all the states in the United States of America had a working probation system and ratified the Interstate Compact Agreement. |

| | Judges can be requested to fully enforce conditions of probation and impose significant penalties on probation violators when circumstances warrant. | | | In the pre-sentence process, the probation officer should assist the judge to develop appropriate dispositional orders by making him aware of the type of court orders the probation department can effectively carry out and the appropriate resources that are available within the community and the correctional institution for the youth in question. | | | While consequences for violation of probation should be imposed as soon as possible, the issue of appropriate penalties is problematic. |
