The Takeover! How the Millennial Mindset has Switched our Ways of Community Supervision
SESSION INFO
Wednesday, August 25, 2021
11:00AM - 12:00PM
Session Type: Workshop
Probation and Parole grows with the culture. Social media, music, movies, family and friends all play a huge role in our always evolving career. As the time changes so does peoples perception of community supervision. As controversial news revolving law enforcement agencies hit the headlines, the relationship between officers and the community become very fragile. Millennials are becoming fearless using social media and technology to create movements to spread awareness but often this awareness paints a bad perception of what we do as probation / parole officers. Fun fact: recent studies show that millennials (born between ~1980 to ~2000) are more likely to get arrested than their predecessors of Generation X (born between ~1965 - ~1979) and the Baby Boomers ( born between ~1944 - ~1964) even though crime has drastically declined since the 1980s. Is it their use of technology, social media or new methods of protest. Is it the economy, gentrification or their lack to conform to old ways?
