Abstract
In the last decade, classification systems have become more common in probation and parole agencies. However, the potential benefits of classification have not been achieved in many agencies because the classification process is often misunderstood. In order to obtain the maximum benefits from the classification process, managers need to approach classification as a tool designed for their own particular organization's needs.Keywords
