goal of many criminal justice system careers is so similar, identifying the
differences between certain careers can be difficult. While the primary goals
of probation and parole officers are similar, how they achieve these goals
couldn't be more different. If you're interested in pursuing a goal within the
corrections industry, but aren't sure which educational and career pathway to
embark upon, take a moment to understand the true differences between probation
and parole officers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

amount of <a href="http://www.bls.gov/ooh/community-and-social-service/probation-officers-and-correctional-treatment-specialists.htm" target="_blank">similarities between these two professions</a>, many students become
confused regarding which is the ideal choice. While both professionals assist
criminals to integrate back into society through a combination of case
management, social work, counseling and supervision, there are also several
distinct differences. These critical differences are discussed below: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

difference between these two careers is how these professionals interact with
convicted offenders. Parole officers communicate and deal with offenders who
have been released from a correctional facility after completing part or all of
their sentence. Probation officers supervise and monitor offenders who were
sentenced to a specific probation duration rather than being incarcerated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

you'll execute the actions deemed appropriate by the Parole Board. These
professional-level board's interview incarcerated offenders and determine
whether or not they're ready for early release. Part of the primary duties of a
parole officer is to ensure released offenders stick to the conditions of their
parole and assist offenders throughout the transition between independent
living and institutionalization. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

play a similar role; however, the offenders they deal with have not been
recently released from a prison system. Instead, the convicted offender must
adhere to specific probation terms set forth by the sentencing court. Probation
officers ensure these offenders meet these requirements by closely dealing with
an offender's daily life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

responsibilities, each of these professionals carries a significant amount of
daily duties; however, the caseload of probation officers tends to be significantly
higher than parole officers. Because of the sensitive nature of newly released
prisoners, parole officers typically meet with offenders on a more regular
basis than probation officers. However, both professionals interact with
offenders based upon the offender's likelihood of repeating a crime. For
example, an offender who has a greater propensity for committing a crime
(either the same or an unrelated crime) will visit his parole or probation
officer more frequently than one whose entry into the criminal justice system
was more of an aberration from his standard behavior than a pattern. </span><span lang="EN"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

detention or correctional officers, corrections officers are responsible for
monitoring those who have entered the correctional system. These professionals
deal with offenders who are currently awaiting trial or those who have been sentenced
to incarceration. Because of this, corrections officers may be found in court
systems, local jail systems or in federal prison systems. If you're interested
in becoming a corrections officer, it's essential to ensure you obtain the
necessary level of training based upon employing state regulations. While exact
eligibility requirements to enter this profession can vary by state, the
following requirements are considered universal throughout the United States. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

college education can vary from state-to-state. Regardless, career advisers and <a href="https://www.criminaljusticeschoolstoday.com/" target="_blank">respected resources</a> throughout the United States suggest aspiring correctional officers obtain an
associate or bachelor's degree in criminal justice. The higher your degree, the
