Choice 2

For this week’s Individual Work you will compare and contrast the probation officer to the parole officer.

• What are the five primary similarities?                                        
• What are the five primary differences?                                        
• What are the educational requirements for becoming a probation officer?                                        
• What are the educational requirements for becoming a parole officer?

Writing Tips:

• Organize your paper in paragraph form beginning with a paragraph defining the topic (What is probation? What is parole?)                                        
• Next, compose a paragraph about the five similarities of the probation officer. Then compose a paragraph about the similarities of the parole officer.                                        
• Do the same thing for educational requirements. Proof-read your paper aloud to yourself or someone else to ensure it “sounds correct” when read. This makes a huge difference and the process will help improve your writing tremendously.                                        
• The deliverable length of your homework assignment is 350 words, two double spaced pages (does not include title page or reference page).                                        
• Remember to create in-text citations for every source you use to create a sentence for your paper.                                        
• Every in-text citation must have a corresponding reference on the reference page of your paper.                                        
• All homework assignments must be in APA format. They must have a title page, body, and reference page.
