History of Probation8
In the U.S.:
The first probation officer was John Augustus (1784-1859), a Boston shoemaker who observed court proceedings and volunteered to take home drunkards. He supervised over 2,000 offenders.
In 1878 Massachusetts enacted a statute that provided for the first paid probation officer. By 1925, all states and the federal government had similar legislation.

The Extent of Probation9
Probation is the most commonly used form of sentencing. 20-60% of guilty individuals are placed on probation. The number of offenders supervised yearly on probation increased from slightly more than 1 million people to over 4 million today. States vary with regard to extent of use. Even violent offenders may receive probation.

Griffin v. Wisconsin (1987)31
Supreme Court ruled that probation officers may conduct searches of a probationer’s residence without a search warrant or probable cause.
Though the 4th Amendment normally provides for privacy, probation “presents special needs beyond normal law enforcement that may justify departures.”

Sampson v. California (2006)34
The U.S. Supreme Court found that the Fourth Amendment does not prohibit police officers from conducting a warrantless search of a person who is subject to a parole search condition, even when there is no suspicion of criminal wrongdoing and the sole reason for the search is because the person is on parole.
