Includes bibliographical references. "The objective of this research was to replicate, in the Atlantic region, a Quebec study of attitudes of non-legally trained correctional personnel about sentencing practices, alternative correctional measures and the quality and nature of supervision of probationers and released prisoners. Most of what we report here is based, then, on data generated from a 60-item mail questionnaire sent to probation and parole officers and administrators working in the four atlantic provinces. This questionnaire, constructed by a research firm in Quebec, was translated by the Commission. Other than adding a question on province, no changes were made to this instrument. At the time of writing, we had, after a reminder letter, received back 129 questionnaires, a response rate of 65 percent. While we had hoped for a somewhat higher rate of completion, this is, nevertheless, a more than acceptable rate for a mail survey"--Introduction, p. 1. gccst Correctional institutions gccst Parole gccst Surveys Canada.
