Being a good communicator is necessary for both probation and parole officers. Both probation and parole officers can send their clients back to jail or prison if one does not cooperate and serve the punishment they are sentenced.

THE WAYS THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IS USED IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY.

Police are the ones who enforce the laws, investigate the crimes committed, and also apprehend the criminals. The police first have to conduct an initial investigation to decide whether or not a crime has actually been committed.
