Based on the following descriptions of both the probation officer’s and a parole officer’s training and work with offenders, determine which officer is better prepared to evaluate the offender’s ability to reenter society.

A parole officer who creates an individualized reintegration plan considers practical needs that affect an offender’s return to society, including housing, employment, education, health care, and drug screening. This preparation most directly supports evaluating the person’s ability to reenter society. The other choices describe valuable personal qualities or organizational duties, but they do not focus as directly on reentry planning.
