The criminal justice system has experienced changes related to correctional population growth over the past 30years. This article applies general systems theory to assess differences between directors' and nondirectors' perceptions of community corrections goals of supervision, importance of officer tasks, and the time required to complete such tasks. Policy implications are drawn from the results of a web-based survey of the American Probation and Parole Association.

The article explains the need for the training of officers so that they may properly supervise sex offenders returning to a community. It is suggested that officers need to be objective, be informed of laws against sexual offending and aware of common characteristics of sex offenders. It is inferred that a combined effort from different government agencies is needed to be able to effectively supervise sex offenders. Several steps to ensure the safety of the supervisors are also discussed.

This research examines the characteristics, consequences, and potential factors impacting the prevalence of prescription fraud committed by pharmacy employees. Using standard thematic content analysis, 292 cases prosecuted by Medicaid Fraud Control Units throughout the nation are analyzed. Preliminary results reveal that certain kinds of fraud (generic substitution, short-counting, and filling prescriptions without a refill) are committed more regularly, or at least detected more readily than other kinds of fraud. Most of the prosecutions involved pharmacists accused of fraud and many of the offenses were committed in groups. Implications for future research and policy are provided.
