Annotation

THIS STUDY IS THE RESULT OF A SIX MONTH EVALUATION OF THE PERSONNEL TRAINING NEEDS OF THE GEORGIA STATE DEPARTMENTS OF PROBATION, PAROLE AND CORRECTIONS.

Abstract

IT WAS CONDUCTED BY THE INSTITUTE OF GOVERNMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA AND FUNDED THROUGH A GRANT FROM THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, OFFICE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE. THE FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS ARE BASED ON A DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY OF THE PERSONNEL OF THE THREE DEPARTMENTS, CLOSE COORDINATION AND CONSULTATION WITH STATE OFFICIALS, REVIEW OF PERTINENT LITERATURE IN THE FIELD, AND THE OBSERVATION OF TRAINING PROGRAMS IN OPERATION. IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THE STUDY IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT THE STATE WAS FACED WITH A MANPOWER CRISIS. THIS WAS PARTICULARLY APPARENT IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS. NOT ONLY WERE IMMEDIATE AND URGENT NEEDS REVEALED, BUT IT SOON BECAME EVIDENT THAT A STATEWIDE, LONG-RANGE COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM WAS REQUIRED. A PLAN FOR ACTION IS PROPOSED, THEREFORE, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO RECOGNIZE BOTH OF THESE FACTORS. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
