Preferred term

caseload and workload standards  

Definition

  • Finding the “optimum” or “ideal” caseloads for parole and probation officers has long been a central concern for corrections agencies. According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), dramatic increases in the overall number of offenders entering local community corrections systems and a higher proportion of high-risk offenders placed under community supervision, coupled with the increasing number of correctional requirements placed on offenders, have led to increasing concerns over workload allocations for parole and probation officers.
