Talk:John Augustus

Untitled
So why was Augustus so successful? It's simple, he got to decide who he worked with. Now it's the court that makes the decision. The potential success for rehabilitation is not factored in, it's all based on plea bargans and lazy or understaffed courts.

What is written above maybe true in some places - probation is very differently operated in different parts of the world - nonetheless Augustus probably remains the father of modern probation - so ideally all the probation pages should somehow be linked - there are now international probation organisations.

unsubstantiated comments
Although there is now an assumption that all offenders are dangerous and respond only to techniques of control, the idea of giving unconditional help to offenders is still a key part of probation practice and the What Works agenda still represents considerable efforts to treat people's cognitive behavioral skills.

Also, What Works appears to be some kind of policy that is well known within certain circles of law enforcement / rehabilitation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.60.18.86 (talk) 02:42, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

BROKEN LINK
THAT IS A BROKEN LINK where it reads (John Augustus, Father of Probation, and the Anonymous Letter - Federal Probation; A Journal of Correctional Philosophy and Practice - Vol. 70 Number 1) - apologies for clumsy edit - I hope someone will clean it up soon. Tolkny 23:42, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
