This guide outlines a new approach to supervising offenders in the community that recognizes the importance of crime opportunity and its reduction. It describes why offender supervision does not work; why crime opportunity-reduction makes a difference; how to supervise offenders based on the idea of opportunity reduction; the use of assessment technology to identify where, when, why, and with whom offenders commit crimes and how to use it to target interventions at reducing criminal opportunities; the use of cognitive-behavior therapy to develop opportunity-reduction elements; how probation and parole can rely on the police to help limit crime opportunities; and making offender supervision work.
